There is nothing more sad than ruining a good pair of mocs. I feel like a month after buying them the suede gets so discolored. But instead of pitching them for a new pair, why not give some character to the ones you already have!?
SUPPLIES: Old pair of moccasins, masking tape, paint, and a paint brush.
First, tape off the pattern you would like to paint. I chose the simple chevron pattern. Then begin painting your first color. Let it dry at least 80% of the way, then take off the tape and begin painting on your second color. You will then want to let it dry 100%. This all depends on the paint you used, but mine took only about 10 minutes.
Ta da! Easy as pie. Hope you have a lovely weekend! xo, Kins.
these looks incredible and super cozy! love them!
ReplyDeletethese look great! i just got a new pair today... i'll have to keep this in mind when they get all worn and discolored.
ReplyDeleteThis is super cute. I am notorious for ruing my mocs & boat shoes, so I'll have to remember this the next time I'm ready to throw them away.
ReplyDeleteI love moccasins. In fact, I have some old ones hanging out in the back of my closet that could definitely use a facelift. :)
