DIY Hoot Owl Toms Tutorial. 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. I dove head first into the project with excitement. She had sent me a photo via camera phone of what she was envisioning and I got to work.

But what you will need is:*A pair of Toms (of course). Here's what you'll do: ( I have done each step on a flat piece of paper for an easier glimpse of what's going on.) 1. 2. Paint atleast 2 coats of paint, allowing each coat to dry completely. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. Glitter Sneaker DIY : Converse One Star for Target. 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. And though I leave a little trail of fairy dust behind me wherever I go, I have to admit, I love the way they turned out. Here’s What You’ll Need… * Converse One Stars from Target $34.99 – courtesy of Target* Fabric glue and/or MOD PODGE* I used Crayola paint brushes to apply the glue.* Silver glitter {I bought an 8oz jar but only used 1/4″ of it. 4oz is plenty. * Fine glitter in black* Painter’s tape* Iron-on silver pyramid studs {which I can’t seem to find online}= Steps… Voila!

Hmm, maybe I should call them Double Rainbow Glitter Shoes! Haha! Here's how you make them! Gather your supplies! You'll need: – Tulip Fashion Glitters in a rainbow of colors – Tulip Fashion Glitter Bond – masking or painters tape – paper plate – shoes (of course!) Before you begin: I recommend that you also do a coat of masking tape inside your shoes. First mark off your shoes in even width stripes using your painters tape. Next sprinkle on your first color of Fashion Glitter. I did the third color (gold) next. Repeat this pattern until you are done. Once finished, use hairspray to lightly coat the entire area of both of the shoes!
