Now that we've officially entered into boots season it only felt right to DIY a pair. And who better to take cue from than Coco Chanel?
How to: The Cap Toe
You will need:1. Cut and place a piece of tape around the toes of your shoes.
A pair of boots or flats or flat boots (we used these)
Tape
Black or white acrylic or leather paint
Paint brush
Clear gloss finish spray
2. Apply 1 coat of paint to each toe and let dry for about 10 minutes.
3. Apply 2nd coat of paint and let dry.
4. Spray a moderate amount of clear finish to each toe and let dry.
5. Slowly peel back tape to reveal your crisp new cap toes.
Easy peasy.
This DIY was done in collaboration with Sophie Monet for StyleHive

Great diy. I love painted shoes!
i thought the boot with the tape on it was the DIY finished product, I thought that was so much cooler, a new take on an old design!

I agree that the silver tape plus the white toe cap was a cool look - one color on the toe plus a stripe of contrast color would be a cool take on this super simple DIY project!
sick.

SO AWESOME. I hope you don't mind but I'm going to repost, and of course credit you/your blog. Nice post.
I actually love the look of the tape alone in the upper right hand side--I think I'd do a metallic stripe, it looks amazing.
I actually love the look of the metallic stripe in the upper right hand corner--even though it's just the tape. I think I'd try that! It's awesome.
