LiveCreative: Sandals New and Improved

I was shopping at my favorite store a few weeks ago, and found a pair of Style and Co sandals for $1! Yes a new pair of sandals for $1!

The gold color on the straps  was flaking and peeling in a few places, but for $1 I can get out some paint, and do a mix and match to achieve the right color to update the straps.

I found a few gold, taupe, cream paints in my stash.  I mixed them together to achieve the same gold as the sandal straps.

I was to lazy to get a brush, so I just applied with my fingers and I am happy with the result.  I did not touch up the gold paint on the tag in the sole of the sandal.

I am quite happy with how they turned out.  I have worn them several times since my refurbish.  Always look at a bargain to see if it is worth the time, and if so you have a  new item for a great price, a fun project and a story.  It is up to you if you tell the story, or just say thank you when you receive a compliement!
