DIY painted shoes
Back with another DIY post, I'm continuing my experiment with painting fabrics. Since my trial with the jeans wasn't exactly a complete success to me, I decided to try with my old shoes. I've had these pair of shoes for years. It is such a shame if I had to dump them, yet at the same time even donating them wouldn't seem appropriate considering how damaged they were. So I'll try to give some new life into my old shoes.
- a pair of old shoes
- white wall paint
- water
- brush
Here are the steps,
1. Untie any shoe lace to make it easier to paint
2. Use the brush to paint all surface of the shoes
3. Apply a bit of water to thin out the paint
note: the thicker the paint applied, there will be more cracks developed all over the shoe surface
Wear them around your house for the first few times until all the cracks appeared beautifully, as you don't want to be walking around some party leaving a trail of dry paint. But after a few days, it'll be just fine!

50/50
What I hate about the holidays is slowly saying goodbye to each one of your friends who had to go back to their daily normal routine (e.g. college life) earlier than you have to go back to yours. Although on the bright side, my friends and I always tried to do some farewell activity to cheer up the mood. This time, it was a relaxing late lunch followed by some mall-hopping action for the rest of the day. Nothing like being accompanied with good food and surrounded by great friends to make me see the glass half full. Anyway, I'll see you soon Maureen! :)
