My niece recently asked me to paint owls on her white Toms . I love the challenge of a good project but I have to say, I was a bit fearful of tackling such a fete. And messing up? I didn't even want to think about that. So I didn't.
When Target approached me about a Converse One Star DIY challenge I couldn't resist, but it wasn't until I saw these Miu Miu glitter sneakers that I had any clue how I was going to give my white sneaks a personality all their own. DIYers have been glueing glitter to their shoes for decades! The most challenging part of this DIY was figuring out what material I was going to use to create the steel toe. I was thrilled to find the little pyramid studs in my own craft closet to complete the look.
It's not the first I've seen of dip-diys, in fact, I posted about painted diy spoons a while ago, but I just LOVE this feature in the Sweet Paul Fall 2011 magazine called "So Dip It" that I had to share. It's not only a ridiculously easy DIY that will transform just about anything you own, but the feature itself, with its bright colors and fun objects, is just begging for more attention. And really, almost anything you can think of is "dip-able"! Have Fun! 72 Google + 0 StumbleUpon
