The Nameless Blog: Spray painted shoes

Hey, peeps! It’s time for a Deco Tuesday post. And we thought it might be a good idea to write a Luke Hemmings: DIY because, well, it’s Luke’s birthday tomorrow. The boy is turning 18 (he’s already 18 in Australia and Europe, WOOOO! Haha he’s now a big boy). Then, we realized our minds may be a little affected by these 4 Aussies. Well, yes, maybe a lot. Blame 5SOS, not us. So, we started thinking of proper ideas for the post. No, not this one, no, this one could be, but we weren’t thinking of anything good. We haven’t done any cool DIYs lately, so that was not an option either. Then we thought of spray painted shoes, yeah, why not?

What’s the huge deal about spray painted shoes? Well, let us tell you. If you have an old pair of shoes (you know you do) and they are your favorite ones in this life, but they aren’t as bright or black or shiny as they used to, YOU NEED TO DO THIS. It’s a life saver, really.

You can spray paint them in so many different ways that you’ll want to do this with all your pair of shoes. You can spray paint all the shoe, just the tip, just the heel or the sole, the ideas are infinite.

Beside, you can use paint of the original color of your shoe and they’ll look just like when you bought them, nice & shiny. Or you can use a new color, like neons, bright or metallic colors, to give them a new & different look, which means NEW SHOES. We guarantee. It’s an awesome way of reinventing your wardrobe.

Just remember to:

Spray paint preferably outside, the smell of the paint may be a bit strong for doing it on the inside of your room or house.
Protect with plastic or newspaper the area you’re gonna be working on. Mom doesn’t want you to paint her table or something.

If you don’t want to paint the whole shoe, use masking tape or any kind of tape you find around home to cover the areas you don’t want to paint. Also, make sure the tape you will be using won’t damage your shoe.

Put some newspaper inside the shoe, so you don’t paint that area.

Make sure the color of your spray paint matches your shoe. We don’t want a DIY fail.
If the color of your shoe is a dark one and you’re not sure if the new color will see as bright as you want, first, spray paint a small area. If the color is not that bright, spray paint your shoe with white paint and then your chosen color.

We highly recommend this DIY if you’re up to wear some new shoes but without spending a lot of money on them. Plus, you can reuse some shoes you don’t wear anymore because of being not that nice.
