Before and After (Thrifty) TV Console

 Although I prefer "creative" 
...frugal may be one of the adjectives that describes me. 


We were in need of a new TV console with lots of storage 
and I spy this old chests at a little thrift store on the side of the road, 
I went inside and a lower price closed the deal. 
 I got a quarter of gray oil paint and that did the trick
... a new home for my TV (and lots of storage)

for less than $50!






Good day friends...
and thank you for visiting and catching up with my blog!

How to Refashion Kids Shoes {Dales Nueva Vida a Los Zapatos de tus Hijos}

Today Happiness will show you how to give your old shoes a second third life. It's super easy!!
We found this shoes at a thrift store a few months ago, they were in "like new conditions" but now after months of use and hard play they were looking old and damaged that were screaming facelift!! This is a very easy trick to refashion kids shoes. {Hoy Happiness les va a enseniar como darles vida a un par de zapatos viejos. Es super facil! Encontramos estos zapatos en un bazar de segunda mano, hace algunos meses atras. Estaban en muy buenas condiciones (en ese entonces) pero ahora se empezaban a ver viejos y gastados que ya gritaban facelift!}

 
1. Paint with Acrylic paint (only damaged parts),I used Martha Stewart metallic paint. {Primero pinta las puntas gastadas y los rayones con pintura acrylica que mejor vaya con el tono de los zapatos.}

2.Tape the tip of the shoes and apply mod podge. {Enreda cinta de pintor o masking tape alrededor de la punta y pon le pegamento para manualidades/blanco.}

3. Put the glitter in a container wide enough to dip your shoes. {Pon la brillantina/glitter en un contenedor lo suficiente ancho para meter la punta de los zapatos.}

4.Dip you shoes {Mete la punta de los zapatos en la brillantina}

5. Clean the edges and any excess then let them dry {Limpia las orillas y cualquier exceso y dejalos secar.} 

and  Voila !! you got yourself a new pair! 



Did you see that? I am training my daughter to be the next Martha!
