spray painted shoes

I love how versatile my gold flats are during the warmer months, so I thought having a pair of heels might be nice too. Most of the ones I had seen around were a little more spendy than I wanted… do I smell a DIY?! I think so :D



Found these lovelies at a thrift store near where I work… the fabric was questionable but I love the scallop-y detail and they’re surprisingly comfortable. Time for some spray paint intervention [paintervention?]



I painted over the fabric with some old acrylic paint I had laying around to cover up the stripes.



…then taped the soles to attempt to keep paint off of them [it was a good effort…]. Spray paint two coats of gold, then one coat of clear sealer, et voila!



A word of caution: you should not follow my example and spray paint in your basement without proper ventilation, unless you want fumes to migrate upstairs despite having several doors closed in between where you painted and everywhere else. Oh well… guess these sorts of projects are better done when it’s warm outside so you don’t have to deal with that :D
