DIY :: insta-TOMS {TOMS Shoes DIY}

written by Natalie Ho 2014.05.02

TGIF! I hope you had a great week and heading into a fabulous weekend! I was uber thrilled when BuzzFeed asked me to join in on the DIY TOMS fun! I’m a huge fan of TOMS, both for its cause and also because I walked endlessly in them during my trip to Spain last year and I must say, I had Happy Feet!!! The inner lining and padding were so comfy.

For this DIY, I wanted to create a pair of customized DIY TOMS that would be both meaningful and wearable. Having recently just returned from my trip to Paris, I decided to create a travel memoire on my shoes using one of my favourite instagram photos I took, creating a pair of uber cute instaTOMS! (You can see original photo in this post here).

I’m 110% happy with the final product and I can’t wait to wear them (as soon as the sun decides to peek out!). Try using multiple photos to create a travel diary on your shoes! What do you think? Would you wear these?

DIY TOMS with Instagram photos

What You Will Need:

  • pair of TOMS
  • your favorite Instagram (or other) photos printed onto regular paper (two sheets of 5 × 7 images will cover approximately two shoes)
  • Mod Podge glue
  • a paint brush
  • scissors (my cute ones are from here)
  • ribbon trim (optional)

Enjoy your weekend, I’ll be headed out to Indianapolis this weekend for a work conference, if you’ve got any suggestions for me, please do speak up!

Do you think that I can do sth similiar with vans shoes?
Effect is totally awesome *.*

Hi Zuza! You definitely can do that to your Vans! Any pair of canvas type shoe would totally work! Best of luck and show me when you’ve given it a try!

I LOVE these so much! I’ve been wanting to try collaging on shoes for a while, and I think I’m convinced now that I have to. I wanted to try it on rain boots but I’m afraid it won’t work. Maybe I’ll try anyway 😉 Thanks for this!

Such a great DIY, I’m obsessed with those Toms Shoes 🙂 Will try this in the future!

So gorgeous! Definitely going to try this – I was going to buy some printed Toms, but some cheap shoes and a few photos is definitely a cheaper (and probably prettier) option!

Cute idea, but they don’t seem very practical. Anyway to “transfer” the image directly onto the fabric?

Love these! Where can I buy that metallic ribbon you used?
