Embellished Vintage Baby Shoes
I never realized how many pairs of vintage baby shoes I had in the house until I bought yet another pair on Friday. After perusing Pinterest for some upcycling ideas, I decided to keep it simple for this first pair.

I started by stuffing each shoe with Poly-Fil to plump them up. I wasn't sure if I wanted to make them into pin cushions or use them in my spring decor. I opted for the latter.
I added some tea-stained seam binding and faux pearls to each shoe. This one also got a petite French fabric tag.
On top of the Poly-Fil, I added some faux moss (from the Dollar store) and lil' photo holders to hold some vintage French flashcards.
I thought they'd look adorable in this little metal cage I upcycled a couple of years ago. I'm working on the next pair as we speak!

So cute! Love your designs for the baby shoes. I have quit a few in my stash too. Been creating them as pin cushions, but needed some new ideas. Thanks for the inspiration.
