From That to This: Neon Flats DIY

We are getting prepare to motility (again) and Jeff and I have been going through piles of wearing apparel + shoes to decide whether they are proceed, toss, or donate. Merely as we started to go through everything, I realized I needed to create a forth pile: things to DIY with earlier we get out. This pair of shoes is the first of those DIYs. I found them in the back of our closet and I don't think I've worn them more than one time or twice because they are a little too manifestly. I like fun flats!

And so I found a couple of neon paint pens in my craft cabinet and did a little makeover. Here'south how you tin recreate this expect with your own pair of shoes.

Materials:

  1. old pair of shoes (mine are Ecote – got 'em on sale for $19.99 from Urban Outfitters)
  2. neon pigment pens (I used these exact ones from Amazon) that can used on textiles

Here's How to Make Them:

  1. Observe a pair of shoes that y'all want to makeover and make sure they are clean from debris. If they're in the back of your closet, they may accept accumulated a little grit. Only be certain to wipe them down outset.
  2. Catch ane of your paint pens and get to piece of work!
  3. I had a semi-complicated leather detail on my shoes that I wanted to pigment and the leather pieces overlapped one another. So I painted the "nether" areas showtime and let them dry out earlier painting the "over" areas.
  4. Motility onto the other shoe. And and then circle back and give the commencement shoes some other glaze of paint if necessary. I did two coats for my pair.
  5. Finish up with coat number two on the second shoes. Allow them dry. And you are ready to hit the streets!

I am and so glad I did this mini-makeover. At present I'll wear these flats all the time.

Hither are a couple of photos of the finished shoes…
