Fancy Toe Flats

Good evening! More like good morning, but whatever. Anyway, today I'm going to show you, my lovely readers, how to spruce up to your flats, the cheap and easy way. If the they're old and worn out or scuffed up, this is the perfect solution! So, without further ado...

What you'll need: 

• Flats - any color, mine are cheapies from Walmart - they're not online, but you can get them in the store for just $5!
• Sponge brush thing or paint brush.
• White acrylic paint
• Acrylic paint of your choice (mine is called Patina by Folk Art, looks like Tiffany green)
• Painter's tape or packing tape

Step One:
          Decide how much of the toe you want to be painted. Tape above the section you want painted, being careful to make sure that it is even on both shoes.

Step Two:
          Take the white paint and using long, even strokes, paint one thin coat on the toe. Make sure you get off all excess and try not to let streak. Let dry. Paint another coat of white and let dry.

Step Three:
          Once the white is dry, paint a thin coat of your color of choice using long even strokes. Let dry. For the final coat, use a thicker coat, almost like you're using too much paint, to make a thick covering. Let dry, this will take about an hour.

Step Four:
          Peel the tape off once dry and enjoy your new flats!

Despite having to wait for the paint to dry, it's a very simple and fast project and your shoes look so cute.
