DIY - Kate Spade Polka Dot Keds


Who doesn't love Kate Spade? But unfortunately, my savings account doesn't love it as much as I do....

So what's a girl to do when she's craving these gorgeous polka dot sneakers? 
She attempts a DIY...


Here's what you need - 
1) Something to trace polka dots {I used the top of a nail polish}
2) A brand spanking new Sharpie {both large and skinny}
3) A pencil to trace

Step by step - 







And repeat! Untill you have these lovelies - 


Now all I need is some spring weather to cooperate with us Wisconsinites to wear these babies out! Hopefully very very soon!

  5. You did an amazing job on these Maya! And it's something I could actually do (some DIYs are still too hard for me ... I'm not that crafty after all). Thanks for sharing! Might have to do this for some cute summer kicks :)

  18. So very extremely loaded with cuteness. I'll be taking a trip to Payless for pair of white sneaks. You did a great job with the sharpie. You must have patience and a very steady hand.
    I have a pair of denim Keds, hummmm, maybe I'll put white dots on them, a little reversal, why not, too hoaky? They're getting a little faded so maybe the white dots will help them look better. Do you put anything on the dots so they don't bleed when washed?
    Happy days
