| On a visit the GW Boutique (O.K., so most people call it the Goodwill Store), I was in search of a pair of shoes that could pass for those of a witch. SCORE! I was so excited when I spotted these, I think my friend thought I'd finally "lost it." |
 |
| And $5 was definitely do-able. |
 |
| I tucked the feet of a pair of Dollar Store witch hosiery into the feet, and stuffed from the bottom up with batting (which I have WAY too much of in my craft supplies). It just took about one medium bag to fill them up to the "hips." They look a little forlorn leaning against the sofa. |
 |
| Propped up in the fireplace with the top duct taped (don't ya just love that stuff?) to the inside of the fireplace. Broomhilda has arrived! Here are some Blog Parties I'm participating in...and some more that are just for fun!  |
Cute and unique - great idea! and duct tape - perfect!

Great idea! Now this is where I tell you that I'm dressing up at Elphaba aka the Wicked Which and went on a search for shoes like yours. With your project you don't have to worry about the size, at least.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT :)
