When Summer strikes most people consider two options. Dig out last year's sandals from the closet -- or go buy new ones.
Today we're going to try out the little-known third option.
Make old sandals new sandals!
Not only is the most financially responsible choice if your old sandals are still in great shape, but the health of the planet also fully supports this idea.
But we're not using normal acrylic paint. No. Because that doesn't always work out in the long run -- you might end up with peely-cracky shoes that you have to pitch after a few wears.
In this case we're trying out paint specially made for leather -- and so durable it's even reccomended for use on furniture. If it's trusted for my couch -- then I hoped it must be good enough to try on my sandals.

Hi! Those look great! I painted some shoes with Angelus paints, and I didn't have the primer either. So I lightly sanded the leather to give it some "tooth." My theory is that this will help the paint adhere...what do you think?
Will definitely try this project
