Bronze Baby Shoes - Wipe your child's shoes all over with a moist towel using denatured alcohol. Let the shoes dry.
Place each shoe in the position you desire them bronzed, tie those strings in place. Position the tongue to touch the sides of the shoes.
Bronze Baby Shoes
Pierce the sole of each shoe with a sharp tool. Loop a string or wire around it. Since children's shoes are so small, make the hole in an area not easily seen.
Mix the bronze powder and varnish together slowly so there is no powder on the bottom of the container you are using. Consistency should be like that of cake mix. Bronze mixture should be enough to cover both of your child's shoes entirely.
Dab the bronzing mixture on liberally using a clean brush to be sure you cover all parts of the shoes both interior and exterior, repeating the process several times. Shoes should have an even, glossy finish.
Preserve the memories of your precious little one forever. Bronzing your baby's shoes is an enduring custom that retains its popularity today like it did many years ago. The process is enjoyable and rewarding, allowing you something to view for many years to come. - by eHow
