Save the Toms!

I have a very obvious love for leopard print and Toms...

and I have a very sad story about my very first pair of leopard Toms that I love the most...

they began to fade, got some stains and then one day I looked down and I could see my big pink toenail sticking out :( (Ok it's not that sad of a story, but it is to me)

I was sad but retired them to the top of the closet and for Mothers Day and my birthday got two beautiful new pairs but still missed the originals. Then I remember seeing on a blog somewhere, I think it was Ashley Ann. She put a patch at the toe of her Toms, so I started experimenting.

I used some fantastic Amy Butler fabric, razor blade and a hot glue gun!

This is what I ended up with and it didn't look quite right so I went and grabbed another piece of scrap fabric and perfect...

I am totally in love with them!
