You Red My Sole...

Grant Isaac Studio, blue Christian Louboutins

Hello my budgeting belles! I've got a money saving tip that will amp up your wedding digs and make you look like a million bucks (or at least $875). I know we've all adored a pair of Christian Louboutin's from afar so now it is time to get'cha some!

I have pair of patent leather shoes that I was just...over. Lately I have been bypassing the boring and grabbing my nude pumps and strappy wedges. It was only fair that I gave my little black shoes a makeover! So here's how it all went down...

I started by sanding the bottom for ultimate adhesion, sectioned off the soles with painter's tape, and began with acrylic, primer paint.


I needed about 3 coats of True Red acrylic paint before applying 2 layers of Mod Podge (for super shine and protection)! This was the final product...


This belle spent $25 on this project, including the shoes! Here is the real thing-Yep, all $875 worth...


So go out...get an awesome pair of pumps and pump them up! Now that you know my little secret, it's time to make your own!

Remember belles...
 Keep your head, heels, and standards high!
