So I just decided to do something fun, easy, and sure to please - I painted my shoes!
Check them out after the break...
Here's a similar type of sandal to the ones I painted:
they were a cross between these 2 beige-y black platform sandals... |
And here's my newly painted old sandals:
turquoise, bright blue and orange! |
With a view looking down:
on the feet with matching toe nail polish, no less! |

The color combinations are amazing. What did you use? I've never refashioned shoes before but I like the challenge.
ReplyDeleteHey Jean, I used some acrylic paints I had on hand: ultramarine blue, cadmium yellow light, cadmium red deep and titanium white. I just mixed them up to get the colors I wanted and painted on one coat with a brush. The top was beige suede, the sole was canvas, and the bright blue part was cork. too much fun!
DeleteWhat a fun project! I want to try some leather dyeing myself. Thanks for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure Beth, I saw your cool cut-out back dress at Recycled Fashion Finds.
