+MATERIALS:
ballet flats (or any other shoes), Painter's Tape, Krylon Short Cuts Gold Metallic Spray Paint, Krylon Clear Sealer
*I purchased the ballet flats from Target. Everything else was purchased from Michael's (and can be found at most other craft stores, Walmart, etc.)
GOT A Q?
-Can you use paint (acrylic or liquid gold leaf) to do this? Yes, but I prefer spray paint. It goes on lighter so it's less likely to seep under the tape & ruin your clean lines.
-Do you have to place tape on the bottom of the shoe? No, but it looks so much cleaner this way. It really didn't take me that long to place the tape (10 minutes, tops) and I love the result.
+TIPS
-The MOST important part of this DIY is securing the tape to seal off anything you don't want to turn gold.
-Do at least 2 coats of spray paint + one coat of some sort of clear sealant.
-Use any stitching on the ballet flats as a guide. If your pair of shoes doesn't have something like this, place the shoes directly side by side while you place your tape to ensure that they're even.
