5 Ways to Update Old Shoes
You have old shoes that have alreadyget bored? Or is it still a favorite and comfortable shoes with an inappropriately scratched toe or a retracted strap? Old shoes can be turned into new ones. Here are a few options.
Sock, heel and sole: shine or velvet
If you have a sock or a heel, orthe sole was scratched, the simplest variant - to hide scratches, putting something on top. Depending on what you use these shoes for, whether they are everyday or evening, choose more relaxed and classic or bright and shiny options:
- for classics:
Take the acrylic paint (it does not fit offwater), paint paper tape and a soft brush. Decide which part of the shoes you will be painting, and separate it from the rest of the surface with a strip of paint tape (so as not to get stained with paint). Then just paint the desired surface, remove the scotch and leave the shoes dry for a day.
Best of all, this option looks on light shoes with black or dark acrylic paints.
- for the party:
Take a transparent glue, all the same painting tape and packaging (or better a few) small spangles for discos - the color you want.
Separate the adhesive tape with a heel, a sock or even a sole, apply glue, and then just sprinkle a few handfuls of sequins on top, making sure to distribute them evenly. Superfluous sweep.
Gluing them whole
Radical method of updating - collage on shoes. Select the images that you like (any - from floral abstractions to comic pages), carefully cut flowers, objects or heroes, and then simply seal them with shoes. Make sure that there is not a single free space left - you need to overlap the overlap to get the effect of the collage. Do not worry if the pictures are slightly protruding from above or hanging below - just cut the excess paper with scissors.
Snake-strap
For this extravagant shoe you will needsandals with a strap around the ankle and on the fingers, plastic toy snakes 15-20 cm in length, glue, thread, spray paint in a can (in the color of sandals) and beads.
First paint the snake - completely fill it with spray from the can.
Then attach to the barefoot as if shevertical strap - so that its tail is located on the strap near the ankle, and the head - on the lower strap. Then glue the snake. Remember - at one glue she can not hold on! String on a thread a small beads, and then - attach the head and tail to the appropriate straps (making 1 or 2 turns thread with beads). The shoes are ready!
Bant with buckle "ballerina"
An excellent choice for the renovation of ballet shoes or shoes. Take shoes, a wide satin ribbon for their color, two buckles, glue and scissors, and a needle and thread (the color of shoes and ribbons).
First measure out a small piece of tape thatcompletely closes the toe of the shoes. Puncture two holes in it in the middle and thread through the buckle, and then simply glue the whole structure to the toe.
Now make a bow - taking the second piece of tape,collect one side of it on the thread so that you have a semi-circle with frills. Hide the cropped edges, bending and gluing them, and then glue the entire bow under the sock, so that it protrudes outward, lying on its leg, about two-thirds.
Chain instead of a Strap
A simple and stylish way to modernize the shoes-boats. You will need six pieces of a decorative chain of the color you need, six connecting rings and two locks, as well as round-nosed pliers.
Measure the distance around the ankle, under and above the heel - such will be the pieces of the chain.
Then decompose them one at a time - firstLong, then medium and then shortest. Fasten them all together with connecting rings, adding a lock on one of the ends of the upper chain. Then put on your shoes - and they are ready.
