D.I.Y: custom sneakers

For this D.I.Y you will need a boring pair of plain sneakers...like these converses I have here...They don't have to be black & white...any color will do.

For this D.I.Y you will also need permanent markers, 4 yards of ribbon (whatever color ribbon you prefer...I also bought blue ribbon too), and a pair of scissors.

Now comes the fun part...you are going to cut the 4 yards of ribbon in half and replace the old boring laces with the bright colorful ribbon.  Then you are going to take your permanent markers and draw whatever design you want on each sneaker (I'll probably draw more things all over each sneaker later).

YAY! Now you have yourself a cute pair of sneakers!  You can also change up the ribbons to match different outfits, or when they get too dirty.  Hope you love what you created...I'll be wearing my sneakers today!
