A Heartfelt Week: Heart Stencil

I found these cute flats at Walmart (not ashamed that I love Walmart) and when I went to wear them, I noticed that, for me, they were a bit plain.  I had made over a pair of canvas flats before and I thought I'd do the same with this pair.

Instead of stamping them, I decided to try my hand at a stencil.  All I used was a coffee can lid.  The plastic provides a sturdy edge for a clean line.

1.Draw out your shape.  Press hard with your pen or pencil so that you can see the impression.
2. Cut out your shape.
3. Tape your stencil to your surface and fill in with paint.

To stencil these shoes, I stuffed the toes with plastic bags so that the fabric would push up into the stencil.
