Baby Golds

I stop by Zara online once in a while and wish for all their good stuff. It's never in our budget, but if I had money you better believe I would do all my shopping there. I saw some gold baby shoes I was dying for my little V to have, but they were $30.00. Not going to happen. So I thought I would DIY my own version.


I had the paint and tape already, and the shoes I bought from Payless for $6. I taped off the sole, then covered the canvas part with modge podge (sorry forgot to photo this part). I let that dry, then sprayed the metallic paint on the canvas. I sprayed it on pretty thick the first time which I regret. If I could do it again I would spray a very thin layer first, then a second touch up layer.



The cutest model around, baby V.


I ended up dying the laces with Rit Tan dye that I had on hand.


It would also be cute to do gold polka dots with acrylic paint.

Easiest DIY ever!
