Use Ikonart to create a pair of eye-catching Neon Leopard Print Painted Sneakers!


Neon Leopard Print Painted Sneakers

To say I was obsessed with Lisa Frank in the 90s is an understatement. I was absolutely in LOVE with that bright-colored aesthetic, and still am today. In fact, I decided that fun shoes can be for adults, too, and made myself a pair of Lisa-inspired neon leopard print painted sneakers! While this can all be done by hand, I took a shortcut and used my Ikonart kit to save time and sanity! I couldn't be happier with how these shoes turned out, and my little heart is just so excited to wear them everywhere I go!!

I might live in the mountains, but I absolutely long for the beach! To bring a bit of the beach into my own home, I used FolkArt Texture Mediums to create a stunning set of Textured Beach Coasters. These coasters are quite simple to make, and would be a fun crafternoon idea. Once finished, these coasters will add a pop of beachy magic to a coffee table, and would also be a great gift idea for a fellow beach fanatic.

Nutcrackers have become all the rage this holiday season - flocked nutcrackers even more so! I've seen them everywhere, from craft stores to home decor stores, and think they are so much fun. They have that vintage vibe, but look so chic.

While thrifting, I often bring a lot of things home that need a little extra love. I don't really have a plan for them, so I set them aside until inspiration strikes.

As soon as I got my hands on Plaid's new Velvet Crush, I knew that that was what this leaf tray needed to bring it back to life!
