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:
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
1. Cut and place a piece of tape around the toes of your shoes.
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.

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.
