(remember these from the 30/30)
that I NEVER wear,
and they get dirty sooooo easily,
and they don't clean well because of the color...
and I just can't bear to donate them....
plus nobody would want them anyway,
SO, I decided to DIY these suckers
into something a little different.
Not too too different,
just a minor facelift.
An Navy TOMS are much more easily inserted into
a summer wardrobe.
White t-shirt, cutoffs, and these....
yes please.
BEFORE:
And I just went for it.
No taping, no prep.
Just carefully and slowly started painting.
This is the size brush I opted for
but any will do.
And the paint I used was Tulip brand, SOFT fabric paint.
The SOFT part is important so it doesn't dry stiff, like regular paint would.
Yellow vs. Navy
I'm happy with my kamikaze DIY.
You never know how these things are going to turn out,
but a little paint can go a long way!
If I grow tired of these, I can always add polka dots
or stripes to them using the same Tulip Soft fabric paint
to extend their life yet again.
Happy painting!
SO EASY! Turned out really cute! I'm really considering doing this with some burlap Toms that were a gift that I hardly wore all summer :)

I highly recommend it! I have seen them spray painted before, but that seemed too labor intensive for me with all the taping off and what-not. What I liked about this method, is when I see the cute converse on clearance at Target in an ugly color for the kids ( or even a Boy color for Paige), I have the remedy...just grab some paint! Boom, Mom of the year!
