Awesome DIY proj for spring/ summer

Here's how to do this in detail: http://rookiemag.com/2012/03/diy-saddle-shoes/

Basically what you're doing is turning old white sneakers or new you can get from Urban Outfitters or just white keds. You're turning them into saddle shoes; Audrey Hepburn inspired.
 All you need is:



  • Plain round-toe oxford or Keds-style shoes
  • Some fabric paint—Tulip brand (Soft Matte variety) is the stuff I like to use. Any color will do! You can go with black for a classic look, or try bright yellow or robin’s-egg blue for more of a spring vibe.
  • Two paintbrushes: a large-ish one for covering the main area of the shoe and a small one for detail work and hard-to-reach areas.
  • Masking tape
  • If you’re gonna do wingtips you’ll also need an X-ACTO knife and a pen for marking.
