Customize Your Shoes! (Toms)

I've had this pair of Toms since summer of 2010. As you can imagine, they have gotten pretty torn up - the lining on the outside was ripped, the black was faded... they were in awful shape. Rather than going out and spending $50 on a new pair, I decided I would simply spice up these old guys. I feel like what I ended up with is way better than what I would have gotten if I had actually bought a new pair :)


What you'll need:
-Old shoes
-Awesome material of your choice
-Fabric glue
-Pins are helpful

Cover the Top

-Cut a piece of fabric large enough to cover the entire top of the shoe, and have about a centimeter or so extra hanging over
-Fold raw edge under and pin in place all around

The nose is the most difficult part - I included photos of each step for this
-Basically what you want to do is fold it under like you were folding the corner of a present.

-Glue everything in place, and allow to dry before moving on to the next step.

Cover the Sides

Use the same method as before for gluing on the material for the back of the shoe.
-Cut a piece large enough to fit all the way around
-Fold under raw edges
-Pin and glue in place
