Hello Friends!
This fun flip-flop project is all about making it uniquely yours! We'll paint beautiful flowers separately and then attach them to create a charming 3D effect that really makes the design pop.
The best part? You get to customize your flip flops! Choose your favorite colors and create a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your personality and style.
Whether you love bright and bold or soft and beachy, you'll leave with a whimsical door hanger that's ready to welcome summer in style!
Come ready to paint, create, and have fun!

Hello Friends-- Thank You, Westside Market Friends!
My heart is full after a wonderful day at the Westside Market! Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Blue Denim Apron booth, browsed my whimsical creations, shared kind words, and took home a little piece of handmade happiness.
Whether you made a purchase, chatted about a favorite piece, signed up for a paint party, or simply stopped by to say hello, I truly appreciate your support. Small businesses thrive because of wonderful people like you, and I am so grateful for each and every visit.
Seeing so many smiling faces enjoy my hand-painted creations makes all the painting, planning, and preparation worthwhile. Thank you for supporting local artists, handmade goods, and creative dreams.
Until the next market, keep finding joy in the little things, embracing creativity, and adding a splash of color to your world!

With gratitude,
Kathi
