DIY TOMS!

So I love Toms just like everyone else obviously, however one day I spilled some bleach on my gray toms and it left a pretty off looking orange blob on my shoe. And later on my right shoe got some black smudges on it to that wouldn't budge when I tried to clean them, so I thought its time to bring out my art bin and get crafty with my toms! I looked up a bunch of tutorials and saw some really pretty designs however there was this one pair of toms that had a henna inspired design on it and I fell in love with it! I will insert that image below as well as my spin on the idea, and how I customized my toms :) Enjoy!

So the tools you will need to do this are as follows:

1. Sponge brushes

 2. Some sort of water sealant, such as Mod Podge but you can use which ever one you have

 3. A black sharpie, and thin paint brush

 4. Acrylic paint or fabric paint, I used acrylic

 I used the mustard and white color in my paint kit

5. Painters tape 

So, to actually list my steps I first started with using the painters tape and taped around the bottom rim of shoe and covered the toms label on the back and the flap label on the sides.

      Before Toms

 First step: Cover bottom and labels with painters tape

 Second step: I mixed my preferred choice of paints in a disposable plate and started to apply the color onto my shoes with the foam paint brush

 I did a total of 2 coats of paints and this is what it looked like after I was done

 Third step: I filled in my little triangle on the top of the shoe with a white color paint with the smaller paintbrush and removed the painters tape

Fourth Step: So now its the fun part, I took my sharpie and just started doodling designs onto my dry painted toms I suggest pulling up pictures of patterns you like.  I only drew on the top half of my toms not the sides or front toe part. The picture I was inspired by is below:  

Fifth Step: After you are done drawing just paint on the sealant all over the shoe and let it dry for a few hours.

 After that you're done! Here is the final product:

Me and my friend got bored, so what we decided to do being the hipsters we think we are we decided to have a photoshoot. We both got all dolled up and headed to a local park and snapped away some pictures as random men stared at us while playing sports, but it was all in good fun. I decided for my headscarf to try and style an infinity scarf, and I think it came out fairly decent let me know what you guys think!
