d.i.y//pop of neon


using this tutorial i tried to make some boring flats into some dang cute ones....here is what i found that worked for me: you can file this diy under pinterest success! 

what you need: 
+ spray paint {i used krylon brand}
+ painters tape 
+ nude flats or heels {mine were from my mom i believe she got them at walmart last year}
+ paper towels 
+ area to spray paint
+ newspapers or something to lay down to spray paint on
+ nail polish remover & q-tips

how to:
1. tape off the part of your shoe you want painted. i just did the toe but you could even do the heel too. {that would be super cute!} be sure to tape the sole part too. i didn't at first and had to use nail polish remover to take it off. 
2. tape a paper towel over the rest of the shoe to prevent paint getting on them. 
3. now, take them outside and spray 2-4 coats on. i did 4 i believe, because i already had tried black before so i was trying to cover it up. 3 would be perfect if they are plain already! 
4. let dry for 1-2 hours. take tape off and use the q-tip & nail polish remover to get paint off anywhere you dont want it. i used it to clean up the line. 
5. now, wear your cute shoes. seriously, i am in love with them and cannot wait to wear them! 

if you do this diy share some pics i wanna see what you come up with!
