If your kids are little, you can help mask off any of the harder parts – such as around the soles – that you want to keep paint off of and remove laces, if there are any. You can even use this idea to makeover adult shoes that never get worn because the colour doesn’t go with anything.
Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

It means there’s more protein-packed nutrition in every bite. We’re big believers in quality over quantity so while our food may be a little more expensive than some, its nutrient density makes for smaller portions with more readily absorbable nutrients.

DVD/CD, radio and cassette player with remote. Good condition, though CD ‘stutters’ a bit on loading, it plays fine. Cassette players are getting scarce. Will throw in a 1970’s collection of cassettes if I can find them (currently loaded with the Jerry Garcia Band).
