Today I was struggling to think of something to do, when it suddenly occurred to me that I don’t actually own anything that I have customised.

So I set about renovating my converse. I’ve had them for quite a while and they were dirty and worn out.

While I can’t do anything about the being worn, I could clean them up.

I always use nail varnish remover. It works wonders for cutting through the dirt.

You can clearly see the difference. I didn’t spend too much time doing this, but you get them looking almost brand new using this method if you had the time.

Once this was done, I made sure it was all dry, and using my Posca pens, I painted this!

The ink blended very well on this surface and dried within 5 minutes.

I couldn’t wait to wear them so I was a little bit naughty and went out in them before they had been sealed.

Thankfully, it’s a nice sunny day here, so there was no risk of rain damage. Plus, I was extra careful to not scuff my feet on anything!

I hope you’ve enjoyed reading this post!
