something BLUE!

So today after work I decided to hit up Hobby Lobby to get some blue acrylic paint to paint the bottom of my wedding shoes! So here's how I did it!

Things you'll need-

•rubbing alcohol

•cotton ball

•paint brush

•acrylic paint

•your wedding shoes

•custom decals (optional)

Okay so I started off by cleaning off the soles with rubbing alcohol.. These are fairly new but I still did it anyways! Let that dry completely (about 5 mins).

I used "Spa Blue" by Americana acrylic paint to paint the soles. This paint dries fairly fast too. It took me about 2 coats surprisingly! 

The bottom of these were originally red too! (I'm assuming they were trying to copy Christian Louboutin!) 

After first coat.

I let the first coat dry for about 10 mins.. Again, this paint dries REALLY fast! 

After the second coat, I couldn't see any more red so I just called it good! 

Here they are after the second coat drying!

I let them dry for another 10 mins. I ordered some custom decals for the bottom of my shoes just for fun. Also looks really cute in pictures! :) 

Here's my final product!! IM IN LOVE!! It turned out so perfect! 

I love my something blue! 💙

P.S. For those wondering, I got my shoes on AliExpress.com, they came from somewhere in China.. Took well over 1 month to get here, BUT I only paid $18.99 for them!! So overall, I spent about $30 on this project :)

Shoe Decals were bought on Etsy from the shop CraftilyEverAfterIL!
