Boy do we have something in store today or what?
We are not gonna be customizing paper towels today,
but we will need them to wipe our paintbrushes on
because, ooh, do we have a plan.
What is this you ask?
Well, found this in the shoe.
[Silica gel packet rattles]
So earlier today I went to the dollar store
and I got not one,
not two...
But three pairs of shoes.
These bad boys were only 5 dollars at dollar general.
That is my kind of price right there. Yes!
And they're really soft.
They're really nice, they actually look really comfy.
So for 15 bucks, we get to customize a bunch of stuff
and I'm excited.
[Paper rustles]
Alright first things first,
hunger and thirst.
Let's be real guys, I really like this.
I want to replicate this on a pair of shoes
inspired by simple and modern, not sponsored,
but I gotta credit my inspiration, right?
I'll add my own flair to it.
♫
Alright, let's do some ombre babies here.
Pink to purpley blue.
What do you think?
Ooh.
This is beautiful,
or should I say shoe-ti-ful.
Can I be real with you for like one second,
we all know this whole concept here
would work much better with an airbrush,
but your girl doesn't have one.
I do have a brush that like swings through the air,
you know, and hits the shoe.
♫
I don't know if you can tell stuff is changing it.
I might have to shorten that area. I'm not sure. We'll see.
We're getting a little bit of gradient.
Isn't that grea-ti-ent?
Grea-ti-ent?
Great.
We need it more blue up in here.
♫
This is kind of a pleasant periwinkle color, I like it.
♫
So for a little bit of reference,
my shoes are supposed to be a lot darker than this mug
as I said personal flair, right?
♫
Mira from the future here, before we go on,
I want to thank Skillshare for sponsoring today's video.

Alright, are you ready for more shoes?
[Whoosh!]
This is a lot more fun than I thought it would be,
hello?
Gradients on a shoe.
What is this? Wow.
I want these ones.
Too bad they're half a size too small.
Alright guys, are you ready for the mid video game?
I have a paint color in my hand
and you have to guess what color this is.
Okay, I will show you very soon,
but for now keep watching to find out
and by the way, if you guessed the color right,
you get a gold star in the comments,
so make sure you comment your guess below,
'cause I will try to reply with a gold star,
unless this video blows up again, and then
you defeat me. So.
♫
Alright, a little more blue paint won't hurt,
gotta get that gradient rolling, you know.
Come on man, I do this every video.
Why?
♫
Alright guys, are you ready to know what color this is?
It is gift box blue.
I don't think anybody would say that,
like who names a color that?
So if you said mint,
I will give you a gold star in the comments.
There you go, you win the game if he said mint.
[Poscas rattling]
We're gonna do kind of like a galaxy,
except this is not really like a night sky.
It's more like...
a sunset sky.
Poscas at the ready.
♫
Alright guys, we were starting the second pair of shoes now.
I have a bomb idea for this, so let's get started.
♫
Yo, it is late, I am tired. [Laughs]
But we are going to finish -
Whaaat?
This looks like a bowling shoe.
I promise you we are not going for that look. [Laughs]
Yeah bowling shoe,
saddle shoes, who remembers those?
Yeah...
Back in the day.
To do the base colors of this,
I'm gonna use this tan.
I was afraid this was like not the right color,
but hey, we nailed it!
Okay, it is the next afternoon now,
I took the morning off because that was a late night
and we're gonna finish these shoes.
Let's just uh, get to it.
So far, it's looking like this.
I know, kind of weird, right?
But something sweet is about to go down.
The brush is so cute and tiny.
♫
Dude this is sick. I like it. I would wear these. [Laughs]
They're so cute!
So our first two pairs of shoes were very...
Loud.
Let's do something a little more elegant,
but with taste!
Hey, we're getting botanical up in here.
Okay, you know we can't get through a Mira Byler video
without mentioning plants.
So yeah.
Alright. first things first.
Take this shoe.
Just gonna do some tropical leaves all over it.
♫
Goodness, tell you what,
some art projects cannot be done with your hair down.
I am over this!
♫
Alright we have this burgundy color.
It's very pretty and it's about to go on these shoes.
[Tap, tap]
♫
Alright, we're done with these shoes!
The burgundy is a little darker than I thought it would be
but I kind of like it
Alright, we finished our shoes.
♫
I think you would never guess that these were
$5 from Dollar General.
I think it's really cool and they look so comfy.
Let me tell you what.
Unfortunately, this one is too small for me,
but hey, wait let me, let me see.
It doesn't fit!
My foot can't even get halfway in.
Man, I'm like a six and a half, seven.
So,
These guys would fit me,
which is great because I might keep them.
We'll see.
I'm so excited about this pair of shoes
and this was our final pair.
This is a size eight, by the way.
The dollar store only had one of each size, so.
Took what I could find.
I think what I want you guys to take away from this video
is you don't have to have like the most expensive things.
Like you can make over a five dollar pair of shoes
and they'll look sweet.
So I hope this inspires you guys to try this.
Honestly guys,
I have really fallen in love with customizing shoes.
It is so fun.
This - I think I've done like five or six pairs now.
Something like that. I just really enjoy it.
That's all. [Laughs]
It's cool because people can use this stuff,
instead of like hanging it on their wall.
Anyway, let me know which pair is your favorite.
Can we also just talked about how this inspired this.
Alright guys, thank you so much for watching
and have a good day.
Let me know that you are going to do this
and if you do can you please, please, please, please
tag me on Instagram or Twitter,
because I just - I am dying to see what you guys do.
As I said I found these at Dollar General for only $5, so.
There you go.
And if you find them cheaper anywhere else,
let me know because I might do this again. It's really fun.
I don't know why it's so fun, but I really enjoyed it.
So, okay. Bye!
