How to Make Plain White Shoes Look Cool

There's no rule about wearing white after winter if you look cool while doing it. In the case of your shoes, make a few modifications to turn ordinary white pumps, flats, sneakers or flip flops into practical and eye-catching accessories for your feet.

Instructions

    1

    Give white lace-up shoes an instant face lift by swapping the original laces for different colors or versions printed with designs or text. Tie sneakers with different types of trim like ribbon, twill or torn fabric strips instead of traditional laces.

    2

    Sew or glue beaded trim or lace around the opening of any closed white shoe or along the straps of sandals and flip-flops as a decorative touch.

    3

    Create a pattern with rubber stamps. Use foam stamps and fabric paint on canvas shoes or traditional rubber stamps and solvent ink to add images to plastic or leather without smearing. Layer the design in different colors or add a single shape to the toe or heel of the shoe. (See Resources)

    4

    Use paint to recolor portions of your white shoes, design a mini-mural on the side or add a personal message and autograph with a fabric paint pen. Flick paint onto the toe with a toothbrush for a burst of color or use a stencil to create a uniform design around the bottom edge. Allow the paint to dry completely before wearing the shoes.

    5

    Add dimensional embellishments like buttons, pins, rhinestones, studs and small patches along the side. Use jump rings to add charms to shoe laces or sandal straps. Give dressy white pumps additional glamour by slipping a rhinestone-studded clip-on earring on the front or back.
