A bit of savings: refreshing kids' shoes

I don't know any kids who haven't scuffed the toes of their shoes. If you are a mom of such a toddler or have friends with kids like this, then this life hack is for you. The "lucky" model for our tutorial was my niece, who was very happy with her new wardrobe.

Today I'm offering two different ways to decorate scuffed toes on children's shoes. I would be glad if you could add to the list and share your own ways of saving kids' footwear.

Method No. 1

Choose lace for the shoes or sandals.

Paint the toes with acrylic paint. Glue the lace onto the damaged areas. For a more harmonious look, I decided to add a lace bow to the central strap of the sandals.

As a bonus, we glued beads on a string where the sole meets the shoe.

Here is the result.

A week of wear later... A bit of dust has gathered, time to wash them))

Method No. 2

Here are some more victims)

Tape off each shoe with masking tape, starting from the area you don't want to decorate.

Thoroughly coat the exposed part with PVA glue (do not dilute the glue with water or other liquids under any circumstances).

Take glitter that matches the shade and generously sprinkle it over the surface to be decorated.

Let the glue and glitter set a little, then generously cover the same area with PVA glue again.

Leave everything to dry completely. It took me almost 13 hours, as the fabric also absorbed some of the glue.

The result

Well, we are still testing these. Day two, everything is still in place))

For children’s shoes, choose non-toxic glue and let the decorated area dry completely before the shoes are worn.
