Trash to Treasure/Monday's Blog Hop

Don't you love to turn trash to treasure??
I do..so I turned this old fashioned shoe
into a floral arrangement.

All I did was spray paint the shoe gold..mod
podge wrapping paper (it's thinner than scrapbook)
in pieces on it & glue some pearls for the
finishing touch. Add some silk flowers & you
have a great floral arrangement..So Easy..
