Remember I asked you to vote on what I should do to my plain white converse style shoes from Goodwill outlet?
Well studs got the most vote
But being the way I am, Being Zhenya, I decided there wasn’t enough glitter in my life, so I got some fabric paint at Jo-Ann’s for under $3 and got painting today!
I also substituted the boring white laces, for neon yellow ribbon!
On a sad note: remember the t-shirt I was refashioning? The one with a church on it? Well it wasn’t turning out the way I wanted, and I knew that even if I dyed it (yes, that’s what I was going to do), I still wouldn’t wear it. And I just don’t do those kind of refashions. So I cut the lace back off, tossed the shirt in the trash, and moved on! If you are an experienced DIYer like me, you know that not everything is going to turn out the way you want, and you shouldn’t get upset over it. Maybe I’ll try that same idea some other time, and be more careful and precise then!
I hope you enjoyed today’s refashion, please let me know what you think!
xo,
Zhenya

My daughters and I love your re-fashions. Nice job on the shoes, and bummer about the shirt. You do good work! Thanks for stopping by foodforfun. Had you been to St. Martin’s Table?

I am glad you like my DIYs
No, what’s St. Martin’s table?

Thought I saw a Like on my scone post where I had written about SMT–a late-but-great Minneapolis cafe. Wondered if you’d been.

Love the laces — inspired! Sorry about the T-shirt, but I admire your willingness to try.

And it’s okay about the T-shirt, there will be way more DIYs out there!
