I had these cute little gold flats that I realized the other day I never wear because I already have gold glitter Tom shoes. Which is probably too many gold shoes for one girl. But Instead of donating them to the thrift store I decided to try and remake them into black flats, because I don't have any black dress shoes.
Supplies: unwanted shoes, spray paint, newspaper, gloves, and if you choose embellishments (like glitter, buttons, fabric, etc) and good glue.
Find an outdoor area you can work in and cover your surface with newspaper. Also place, or tape, some newspaper to the inside of your shoes so the inner soles won't be sticky if you choose not to wear socks with your shoes. Spray your shoes, allow to fully dry before adding another layer. You may need 2-4 layers of paint. Once you have fully painted your shoes and they are dry use your glue to add any embellishments you want. And presto:
New Shoes!!!!

Picture to a few, scattered red clouds scattered under the sunset, elongated silhouette, rosy cheeks left the front of your smile, Vibram Fivefingers Shoes / black yello Kso shoes exposed the ripples in the water pan. I worry, time is running out, you for whom weight loss .Gradually undress with a circle is a sad thoughts away, staring ahead, I do not know for whom you wait, worry more worry. Vibram Fivefingers Shoes multi-blue grey KSO shoes Send your costume Han Chinese clothing, silk straight marriage with the paragraph, you unhappy because you are still waiting for who I insisted, in order to intervene only when your reincarnation more today. -

I'm interested in such offer,The sound quality in these podcasts is really poor. I feel bad about complaining about something that is free, but I think it is important.
