round to pointy toes / DIY

For a while now… actually, pretty much always, I’ve been more into pointy toes rather than round toe shoes. All I can say about this DIY is - I wish I had come up with it during the summer. But, you know, we still might get some Indian Summer when I can give my new pointy toe shoes a good try.

All you will need for this DIY is a pair of round toe shoes that you don’t feel bad about cutting up, sharp knife and acrylic paint that matches your shoes (I’m still on the search for this because I don’t want my shoes to have darker edges where I cut them, but this is the result for now).

Much love to you my lovely friends!!



UPDATE (9-28) :

My impatience and the need for perfection sometimes do not agree with each other. I was too eager to show you this idea, and because of my impatience I did it even though I knew the shoes did not look 100% what I wanted them to be. So here is an updated version. To cover the dark edges, and to make the look completely straight and neat I superglued strips of white leather that I had left-over from other projects. Now they look exactly as I imagined.
