Don’t you just love TOMS shoes?
I recently purchased a pair for Marisol and took to them with some Elmer’s Painters Markers. You might remember I used these markers on the Invisible Nasties Felt Creations I made for the kids.
To say that she loves her new shoes is an understatement.
She wears this outfit all the time, it’s by far her favorite, so to have a cool new pair of shoes to match, she was over the moon.
To decorate them I simply sketched a rough draft of what I wanted to paint on the shoes, then I painted one section of the shoes plain black. I know that sounds strange seeing as the shoes are black, but it gave the shoes a two-toned look. Then I painted the image of the butterfly onto one shoe, and a motion swirl onto the other shoe so it appeared that the butterfly was flying across the shoes. Then I added a little bling to the butterfly wings and put them out in the sun to dry.
Today I had to go back to the same store and purchase my teen a pair of exactly the same shoes. He thinks their cool. I’ve put them aside for Easter. Shhhh. Thankfully he doesn’t read my blog.
Did you know that TOMS give a pair of new shoes to a child in need for every pair of TOMS shoes purchased?
Also on April 5 is TOMS One Day Without Shoes campaign. Go barefoot for the day and support children in need.
Disclosure: I was compensated for this TOMS and Elmer’s Painters Markers project for Collective Bias
I much prefer personalized items rather than branded ones.
It expresses creativity of a person in an inexpensive but priceless way.
Like TOMS’ shoes, which donates a pair of shoes for every pair purchased to children in developing countries, for every pair of TOMS sunglasses sold, the company will help provide medical treatment to someone with sight issues.
Tom’s shoes is very in demand nowadays. It is very comfortable to wear that is why lots of people likes it.
Beautiful shoes. I’m looking forward of seeing more pictures.
