Description

This project can add some interest to your plain ballet flats, while also covering up any old scuffs or imperfections that might make your shoes look old and worn.

Instructions

  1. Small shoes1

    Before you get started, you should make sure your shoes are as clean as possible. Mine had some scuffs and other marks that I couldn't remove with a magic eraser, so I just made sure not to put any stickers over those spots so that they would be covered by the paint. Take your stickers and place them around your shoes. I used about 16 for each one.

  2. Small shoes2

    Put some plastic grocery bags or other fillers inside each shoe so that you don't get paint all over the insides. Then go outside and spray paint them, making sure to cover them from every angle.

  3. Small shoes3

    Once they're dry, remove the plastic bags and the stickers and you have yourself some flats that look brand new!
