Have I mentioned I’m a DIY junkie? Yes, I’m sure I have. Well, Pinterest feeds the addiction, which is why I should stay off Pinterest.
But, I don’t.
I came home from the AWP conference with the itch to do book crafts. I’m not sure why I had the book crafting bug, but I went to Pinterest for ideas and I found these:
They are made from comic books. Said I, “Why should the comic book peeps have all the fun? I can make those from real books.”
Well, I didn’t want to ruin a pair of my own shoes before I knew the project would work, so I went to Goodwill and found this cheap pair of pumps. They looked brand new. 
Cute, right? They aren’t my size. They are a size 8. Anyone wear a size 8 shoe? If so, keep scrolling down!
Pumps + Modge Podge + book pages
Ta DA! Book shoes. 
Aren’t they so cute? The little red books on the toes actually open.
So, what am I going to do with these bookish shoes? I can’t wear them. I will give them away! Hooray for Rafflecopter! I’ll ship worldwide.
So, what are you waiting for? Enter now. Tell your reading buddies. Tell everyone who wears a US size 8. You could be the coolest reader in town.
Check back this week for more news and giveaways as I get ready for the BEFORE THEY FIND US blog tour.

19 Mar 2014Love the shoes – they’re just gorgeous! I saw the comic book shoes idea a while ago and wanted to try it out but promptly forgot, thanks for reminding me about it! 🙂
I just finished Before They Find Us and can’t wait to share the review on the blog tour (don’t worry, I loved it!).
