Panache Offblast

I absolutely love anything and everything DIY, especially when it’s recreating something high-end that might be a too much for some of us to drop $$$ on. I recently came across two incredible DIY tutorials for shoes that are actually very easy to do at home: one is for a pair of out of this world ‘cosmic’ flats by Nancy of gothreformschool and the other is a neon painted heel a la Pierre Hardy, redone by fashion blogger Ashley4Emergy.

You don’t have to be an astrophysicist to create these fun shoes like Nancy at Goth Reform school did. I’m obsessed with anything that has to do with outer space, so this pretty much blew my mind away when I stumbled upon it! With some acrylic paint, an old pair of canvas shoes, tape, and some creative brush-wielding techniques, you can turn some boring ol’ slip-ons into real works of stargazing art. The possibilities are endless with colors, brushstrokes, and forms – just imagine how chic they’d be on a pair of your old canvas wedges or high-tops, or even a mini cross-body – let your imagination run wild!
