A Quickie DIY

There's so much I want to share about the short trip my family and I took to Tsavo! I took about 1,000 photos (quite literally) so  I'll have to divide the posts into some kind of order so that I don't bombard you with too many photos at one go.

In the meantime, here's a little DIY for ya!

I got this idea from A's Fashion Files which is a blog run by Allison. Her version is a lot fancier than mine but to my defence she does this kind of stuff often! You can take a looky at her DIY here. 

So let's start.You need:

1. The shoes that you want to DIY

2. Tape

3. Paint

4. Paint brushes

5. A pair of scissors

I got the paint from a friend and ended up using the bottle to the left which he mixed up for me. It wasn't labelled so I don't know what brand it is but I know that it's the kind that you can use on fabric. The bottle to the right is Fevicryl and I know you can get that from Textbook Centre or any crafts store in town.

 Shoes from Bata for only Shs350!

 To make it easier for me, I followed the seam around the back of the shoe. I also cut the tape into smaller strips which made it easier to follow the round shape.

 Then it was time to paint the town gold! Which was definitely the most fun part.

 Tadaa! 

 I think I'll buy like three more pairs and create different designs. 

And there you have it!
