DIY Repainted Heels

So, I have this pair of plain white heels and I have grown bored with them and what better way to stop being bored with them than to paint them.

Step 1. Find a white pair of heels or shoes.

Step 2. Apply painters tape.

Step 3. Pick out two colors.
(For paint either use fabric paint, found at  Michaels or acrylic paint, brand called basics, also found at Michaels.)


Step 4. Paint. Starting with your first color.
(I chose beige (color 1) and red (color 2))


Step 5. Wait 15 minutes and then remove the painters tape. You want to be sure that your paint isn't runny so when you remove the tape the lines stay nice and crisp.


Step 6. WAIT AT LEAST 30 MINUTES! You may think that the paint is dry but wait anyway. the next step involves placing tape on top of were you have already painted and if it is not completely dry the tap will peal the paint off the surface and you will have a mess on your hands.

Step 7. Begin painting with color 2.


Step 8. Once you have finished with color two remove all the tape and go back around the shoe and correct any smudges or spots you might have missed.

Step 9. Repeat on the other shoe.

Step 10. Marvel at your new pair of shoes and find an amazing new outfit to pair them with!
