Hmm.. a couple hours, at least, I can’t really remember since its been a long time. I did multiple coats of Mod Podge and you have to let it dry between coats. You might have to get the first coat done with your friends and then they can finish the rest at home. Or you could do one coat at night, and the second when you wake up in the morning!

Of course you can make some of your own! You don’t have to put my initials on them, it’s totally fine :) Make it your own! I’m sure you guys will come up with some awesome shoes.

To make them, I cut my wrappers into relatively small strips and then put some Mod Podge on each one. I then layered them onto the shoe, and used multiple coats of Mod Podge on top to attach them more permanently and provide a seal.

If you want to wear them regularly, you’ll need to seal them with a final coat of some sort of varnish. This comes in brush-on and spray-on varieties, so for this brush-on would probably be easier, since for spray on you’d have to block off the inside of the shoe.

Of course, you don’t have to do stripes – you could use a hole punch to make dots, or cut squares, or do diagonal stripes… there are tons of options, and I’m sure you and each of your friends could come up with something unique!

I’d love to see pictures when you’re done, so email me back! And let me know if you have any more questions!

Well, if you can’t eat them unwrap them and then put them all in a bag for someone else you’re close to- they most likely would take them if you’ve got someone who likes them.
