"New" leopard print Uggs! I took dd2's beat up Costco uggs and covered them in leopard print duck tape. She is over the moon and I'm pretty stoked at how they came out!! I had to go lower on the toe since they were so banged up.
Took me about a half an hour to do both shoes. Cost..about $1.

Very cute! My DD's Costco uggs are looking the same, but hers are pink, so I'm not sure what to do with them...maybe zebra stripe?

I think you should put that on pinterest and watch it go viral. Seriously - great job.

Ohhhh I'd pin it!!! I actually think I will do it. DDs have knock-off uggs from ON that they wore last year AND this year and they are super worn. I had no clue they would still fit them but they still do (sized up too much, I guess). They look pretty worn...this might be the solution.

When you first described it without seeing the pics I thought- she wrapped the shoes in duct tape?? Couldn't visualize at all.

After the pic-Wow! super cute! you may have started a new trend among tweens!

Wow! That came out amazing! Do you actually just put the tape on? It wouldn't come off?

Very creative!

Thanks guys! I'm not on Pinterest so I'll have to feel the love here (feelin' it!)
Yes, I basically took a mosaic approach to it (cut little pieces, strips, whatever I needed). I stuffed my hand in the boot with each application of tape and pressed really hard, smoothed (and smoothed), inspected and moved on. I think it will hold just fine.

Wow! That is so creative and awesome! Great idea!

Where is Susan? Isn't her husband the duct tape king? I fear if he sees this, he might be inspired to fix and redecorate everything in the house on her. HA!

DD thinks that is so cool! She wants to "update" her old Uggs now too!

Great job!!:bighand:

Seriously, those are *awesome*! :thumbsup: At first when you described it I was imagining big 'spots' that you cut out of silver duct tape :ROTFLMAO:... what you came up with looks amazing! It would be cool to do that with Crocs and other shoes, too.

For those looking for different patterns & colors, I've also seen fun types at Michael's and Target. I'd imagine Joann's and Wal-mart might have some, as well, and probably Amazon.

Thanks for sharing the cool idea & pic!
