sharpie surprise

sometimes, life gets a little ghetto.

let me explain.

i had an interview for graduate school and i found the most amazing outfit at h&m and had to match it with a pair of black heels. after some deliberation i decided theses had the best shape and whatnot

overall.....scuffed

however as you can see they weren't in the best of shape

weird white scuffs along the side

i used to wear these shoes allll the time. my sister wore them to prom back in high school and she gave them to me. bliss!

dirt on the heel, as well as a huge rip

so, i figured there had to be a way to make these shoes look presentable again

white scuff on the back, wear on the wedge

 and that is where one of my most favorite crafting secrets ever.... (and it is a somewhat ghetto secret)

sharpie!

so i just filled in the blanks. and by blanks, i mean all those scuffs

before: scuffs on heels

after: scuffs on heels

white scuffs, brown scuffs, all gone!!!

weird white scuffs on the side, gone!

it's almost like....brand new shoes!

hahaha not quite

so, go find a pair of scuffy shoes and fill them in! 

it isn't absolutely perfect, but it makes your shoes look like they are one color instead of beat to crap

like most of my shoes are

see?! you can't even tell!

this doesn't just go for black shoes either, you could simply find a sharpie to match your shoes

and there you go!

do you have any secret crafting secrets?
