Toms Sandal

I love this time of year!  The weather has been so amazing lately that I thought I would share this "craft" with you.  My favorite shoe easily is TOMS, first of all they provide an amazing service with donating  shoes to children who are in need of them for every pair that is purchased, plus they are super cute and amazingly comfortable!  Sean even caught the TOMS fever and we wore them at our wedding including our bridesmaids, groomsmen, even my dad rocked the TOMS!!

One day my cute husband went skateboarding with my brothers but he was concerned that he did not have skate shoes.  I told him just to grab a pair of toms to wear seeing as how he had a pair covered in paint from when he painted a house.  When I saw him later that night I was in shock.  I looked at his feet and I beheld a horrifying sight, a pair of bright red toms covered with HUGE wholes in them.  MY red toms covered in HUGE wholes! They were my favorite TOMS that I owned I was devastated! I know I am being seriously dramatic but I was kind of sad.  Then I saw a cute idea on Pinterest to make TOMS into sandals. Done!  I had the perfect pair of recently destroyed shoes with which to create those sandals!  Ok so here is what you do:

 First grab your TOMS that you will be transforming, take a white pencil and draw lines for where you plan on cutting.  I followed the seams of the shoes but be careful not to draw too close to the seams and I also cut squares out of the sides.  Next take your scissors and begin cutting your pattern you just traced, you can take them to rough up the edges if you would like I found that they fray naturally! 

Here is my final product:

 

 

 

 

These shoes have quickly become my go to shoe.  So in the end I must give my husband a big thank you for giving me an excuse to make these!
