I've been so excited to show you my altered ice skates. I found them in another booth and they were all dirty with mildew and yuck. However, they had potential.
I painted them with American Chalk Paint, sprinkled on the glitter, added ribbon for the laces and then embellished and stuffed the insides with pine and pretties...
What do you think?
I took them to my booth and they sold the next day. Darn, I really wanted them to stay around a little longer because they made my booth look so good!

Very pretty, Sissie! I love the glitter on them. I just did up a pair I found over the Summer the other day. Small amount of glitter added to my blades and I was just glad to get some faux fur on them. I want to change out the shoelaces to red ones so I'll be looking around the house. I'm sure we've got some somewhere!
It always seems like the things I really love in my booth are the fastest to sell . So I know where you are coming from .

Very pretty and festive laces!
Isn't that they way it goes - the things you wish could stay and be enjoyed are the first to sell.
So adorable with those laces! I'm not surprised you sold them immediately!

Oh my gosh Sissie, they are so pretty and white and sparkly! What a cute christmas decoration someone will now have to pull out every year!

Sissie, those skates are so pretty. I found a pair last year and I still don't have them made over. I think I've been putting it off because I couldn't decide whether or not to glitter them. After seeing yours, I believe I will! Wishing you and your loved ones a joyous holiday.
Christmas blessings and hugs,
