Folk have sent us images of jazzed up toe caps on their Converse so we thought we would give it a go.
We bought these shoes in a charity shop for £1.50 !!!! a quick hack later and they look super cute!
Did you know that sugru:
- bonds to most materials (including rubbers and fabric so you can customise or fix the fabric too !)
- is waterproof so will be fine in the rain and even a washing machine
- is flexible so will bend with your shoes
- can be mixed to to create custom colours

We used two packets of sugru for this hack, 1 mini pack is enough to cover the caps but because we were creating a lovely peach colour, we used 2.
To chose a colour, use the colour guide in the 7 steps booklet included with your sugru. This peach colour was a mix of 50% orange and 50% white.
To mix the colours, just knead the sugru in your fingers until the sugru is fully blended. You might like a marbling effect, if so, stop kneading whenever you like how your sugru looks :)
TOP TIP: While mixing sugru, it will get quite sticky, don't worry, use dry tissue paper to clean the sugru from your fingers.
