If the witch's shoe fits...

Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects have recently been gaining popularity.  DIY projects are a cheaper method of creating everyday items.  Inspired by a love for shoes and fashion, John I. Burton's Guidance Counselor, Mrs. Melissa Cook, has recently undertaken a unique DIY project in preparation for Halloween: she constructed her own witch shoes.

To show her Halloween spirit, Mrs. Cook decided to create her own pair of witch's shoes.  She found an advertisement on Facebook with a "How To" video attached explaining everything she needed to know about creating the shoes.  To make the shoes, the following items are required:  an old pair of shoes, masking tape, spray paint, glitter and jewels, an aluminum pie plate, and decorative Halloween items.

Mrs. Cook chose this project because it seemed quick and simple.  She stated that this was ideal for her, for she does not like projects that take more than a day to make.  Though this was Ms. Cook's first pair of DIY shoes, she hopes to do more in the future.  For Christmas, she plans on making a pair of elf shoes.  The video used by Mrs. Cook is in the link below for those who would like to create their own witch shoes for this Halloween!
