Me & Tom

I wanted my old black Toms to have a face lift. I was kind of nervous about touching them because they're not cheap, and there's no going back. But I finally worked up the nerves and just did it.



All you need is:
Shoes
Bleach pen
A lot of guts!

I was lost at first with such a blank canvas but after searching a few pictures online I finally found my inspiration. I tried to recreate that pattern on my shoes and improvised a little as well.



Once the bleach dried, I ran them under hot water with a towel and some dawn dish soap. I would recommend vinegar also but I haven't used vinegar on mine yet.

They've been a big hit with everyone so far so I may get to do a few more in the future!
