Charming Upcycled Ballet Slippers

I saw a pair of up-cycled ballet slippers on one of my favorite blogs  The Feathered Nest 

They were so cute I had to make a pair too! 

As luck would have it I had a pair of pink ballet shoes in my stash.I have to admit, painting them was a bit more time consuming than I had anticipated as they required several coats.

I love the way they turned out. 

 

These are listed in my Etsy shop.

Informal country cottage gardens are my favorite.

The bees like my flowers too!

Inspiration can strike at any time. 

I was taking pictures of some spoons to list in my shop. 
I added roses as an accent in the pictures.  

While I was standing there I thought they look so lovely together that 
I wanted to keep them that way. 

So . . . I took a few of the spoons and wired them together, 
added some vintage lace and a handmade tag. 
And viola the spoon bouquet was created! 

The tag can be used for an inspirational word, a name, 
you could even use them on each guest's plate at a tea party 
or wedding and use the tag as a place card. 

Hmm, maybe I should make more of these . . .

You can find this one in my Etsy shop:
