Kate shoes

I wanted to re-do a pair of shoes I had. Got the idea from pinterest.


The idea was to put fabric around the edge where the feet go and add a bow on the side. So cute!


So I decided on gray. I just finished a new gray skirt, so gray shoes sounded good, right?
Wrong.
Ugh.
Painted them gray. The gray fabric didn't match.


So I tried to mix the paint so they would match.
Still couldn't do it.
Frustration!!!


Ok. New color.
White.
White is good. White goes with everything. I have white fabric. This'll work.
Wrong again.
Fabric was too white.


FRUSTRATION!!!!!!!!


What to do? What to do?


Ok fine.
Beige.


I wanted some beige shoes. No fabric things. I didn't have fabric to match.
So they're just going to be beige.
And now I have
Princess Kate shoes!
Oh yes.
Like in these pictures:

Ah. So happy to have Kate shoes.


Here they are:


The before:

I cut off the strappies.

I don't have a picture of when they were gray. Sorry!

Here's after I painted them white. I know, they look fine. I just didn't like them.

And here they are beige:

I love my new Kate shoes.
All I did was sand them so the paint would stick well, paint them with acrylic paint, then seal them with glossy mod-podge. (I did have to re-sand, re-paint, re-podge, then re-sand, re-paint, and re-podge again because of the stupid color).
Because they're already well-worn in, I don't think I'll have problems with them cracking. I just have to be careful.
