My favorite pair of shoes aren't looking so good these days. I've had them for years! They started to fade long ago, I've replaced the laces, and the insoles aren't so great anymore, but there's still plenty of tread on the bottoms and I just know these old shoes still have some life in them! I've had them so long I should probably just replace them, but I'm not quite ready to part ways with them. So I decided to give them a MAKEOVER!

I saw some fabric spray paint in a craft store a while back that I thought might be perfect for this project! Since the paint was thin enough to spray, I knew it'd be easy to apply with a paint brush.

Here's I shot I took in the midst of painting. The left side of the shoe depicts "before" and the right side depicts "after" treatment. |
With a steady hand, I carefully repainted all of the red suede with this fabric paint. And... VOILA! Now they look just like they did when they were new!
