diy + design: up-cycled aztec print wedges

Jun 13, 2012

I love a good aztec print.
I also love reviving old items into something fresh + trendy.

So...
here it goes.
This came to me in a dream.
J/k.



the supplies:

-old pair of shoes (flats, wedges, pumps...just need to have a smooth surface for painting)
-nail polish (color of your choice- I chose coral)
-tape

the steps

1. outline the design with tape (anywhere you don't want paint, basically)
2. paint in the design w/ nail polish, let dry + then peal off the tape

done-zo!

I will now wear these more than the 0 times I have in the past four years. Yay!

  5. Very Clever! I have to remember this when I see shoes with potential! I imagine nail polish will last quite a while too!
