5 Creative Ways to Customize Your Tennis Sneakers
I have been thinking lately that I might want to get cute tennis shoes for the summer. As much as I love my sandals and wedges, tennis shoes are unbelievably comfy and perfect for any summer occasion. And I realized it would be just as easy for me to buy a plain pair and decorate them myself for a one-of-a-kind, perfectly "me" look. I did a bit of research to find some styles that I like and came up with quite a few, so of course I had to share them. Check out my top 5 picks:
1. Dip Dyed
Simple, preppy and oh, so fun! These kelly green-toed sneakers are definitely eye-catching but would still match just about everything. And if green isn't your thing, go ahead and choose any color you want!

2. Silver Sparkles
Plain tennis shoes get a rock star makeover with silver glitter and rhinestones. Try this style out in red and you'd have instant Dorothy shoes! Whatever color you choose, we love the glitzy sneaker idea!

3. Designer Inspired
They look painted, but those bold Marimekko flowers are actually drawn with Sharpie markers. Sounds like a challenge, but believe me, you can do a LOT more than you think with a Sharpie.

4.Floral Revamp
These New Balance get a personalized touch with fabric cutouts. This is the perfect way to take a pair of wintery sneakers into spring and embrace the current floral trend. If you don't wear them out, you could even switch up the pattern next fall!

5. Bold Statement
There's no need to pay big bucks for a look that you can recreate with fabric markers. Choose a few of your favorite colors (or use the whole rainbow for a pair that will match absolutely everything) and start drawing!
