DIY Color coordinated accessories

My friend asked me to help her on fixing some old slingbacks and clutch for an upcoming party outfit. She could not find hot pink shoes anywhere.. The easiest way to have color coordinated accessories is to spray paint them. First I cleaned them.

I recommend using expert spraypaint for accessories because they have to stand more use than clothes (my spraypaint is bought from a car paint shop… Continue

Great numbers makes art - the teabag dress by Ang
