Channel Your Inner 80s Teen with DIY Neon Converse
Hi, I'm Brit, the founder and CEO of Brit + Co. I'm a young mom of two, tech nerd and design-inclined lady who has a zillion hobbies and curious about... just about everything! My mission from the beginning has been to unlock women's creativity and courage to try new things so that they can find the path to their true passions.
Child of the 80s or 90s? Us too! And we have some seriously fond memories of our old school sneaks with VELCRO® fasteners. That’s why when we got our latest shipment of colorful Velcro Industries goodness packed to the max with ONE-WRAP® straps, we immediately knew we had to make 80s-inspired sneakers without laces.
For this simple hack, we took a pair of pink Converse All Stars, took out the laces, and replaced them with ridiculously colorful Velcro® ONE-WRAP® Brights. Read on for the quick how-to!
Materials:
– Converse All Stars (preferably pink!)
– VELCRO® brand ONE-WRAP® Brights
Loving all of these springtime colors!
1. Pull your first strap through the top shoelace hole on the right.
2. Let the large end catch on the inside of the hole and pull the rest of the ONE-WRAP® Strap through.
3. Fold over the top and lace through the next hole.
4. Twist, fold, and attach!! Repeat down your shoe.
Loving all these bright colors!
