My crafty friend, CAR, recently posted this blog. Her shoes and the pin they came from inspired me to make some cute shoes of my own!
These are $5 Faded Glory canvas shoes. $2 worth of dye and some scrap elastic resulted in these. I love them. They are comfy and just slip right on.

Perfect for sitting outside, enjoying the day...
Or for slipping on to check out how the garden grows.
I also made a small pair for my daughter, but she says they "itch" her foot. I don't know what that means, but she won't wear them even though I went with yellow because that's her new favorite color! One packet of dye did both pairs of shoes, and we also did a onesie that I had on hand. I love them. The hardest part was not sticking my finger while I sewed on the elastic. I've read Target has them with the elastic already in, so I'm on the lookout. I think a turquoise pair would be perfect for summer!

They look GREAT - esp with the garden in the background!
Have you tried some no show socks with L's? My itch a little where the elastic touches my skin. Not a big deal for me to get used to but I can see how it would bother a child.
