Reinvent Your Old Shoes

If you're tired of your old shoes, you can simply reinvent them, & it's really simple. the best thing about giving your old shoes a makeover, that you'll keep them up to date while expressing your style & sense of Fashion.
the number of things you can do are countless, so I'll show you a few ideas to inspire you, whether you're going to work, on a date or to a wedding, in other words they are perfectly wearable through day or night;

For this style, You'll need:
-A pair of rounded or pointed pumps
-Masking tape
-Paintbrush
-White acrylic paint for the first layer, then neon yellow acrylic paint "or any color you desire with glitter or without"




After you add the masking Tape to the cap toe at the front of the heel, press down on them so that the paint wouldn't ruin the professional look. apply the white paint before any color & let it dry for a few hours, as the white paint will help masking the real color of the shoes, to give you a better color result.after the white paint drys, just apply as many coats as you'd like from the yellow paint "or the color of your choice".



To remove the brush strokes which were quite pronounced on my suede heels, wait until the paint is semi dry, and then wet your fingers with water and smooth any lines.

You can Add Glitter that has the same color as the Base to help the Glitter have the Exact Desired color while making it Pop


Or, if you're going to use Spray Neon Paint instead, then it'll be better to tape the bottom & the top of your shoes, then hide the rest of your shoes under any old sheet that you don't mind getting it messy, to avoid spray paint splatters on your shoes.
 



as for adding some embellishments & encrusting your shoes, you can get any type of fake crystals, rhinestones or any embroidery to glue onto your shoes.
