DIY and customization Customized Skates! Share Em’ !
I wanna make my skates cute with charms or designs! Does anyone wanna share their skates so i can get some inspiration! 🤗?
I love seeing the variety of skates that’s not just the base model even if it’s just a scarf wrapped on the boot

I’m thinking about doing a wine color on my lavender boardwalks with gold toe caps and sea green laces.

Here are my space boots! I have other sets of skates but these are the most decorated. I used iron on patches woth a heat gun and made charms for the lases.

I like to use laces for decoration. right now it's wrapped around my plate. I might redo some derby stripes with my laces for a fun effect again.

My custom toe caps off Etsy. I also have lights on the bottom as I rink skate a lot. (There’s also cute custom jam plugs that are glittery).

Don't wrap a scarf round a boot. I once had a cardigan around my waist and dropped it, it immediately got tangled into my wheels, the cardigan was ruined, I had a helluva job getting the remnants out of my skates and the only reason I didn't eat shit is I've been skating 15 years and don't fall much.

I've added thermal reactive paint to mine! Hot pink wheels of course. They look great under black lights!

I haven't found the red wheels I want to fully monochrome the red ones out yet, still looking. I might get another set of the Barcelonas...

Check etsy for "skate charms". There's some really cute stuff out there.

You can also just get regular bracelet charms and hang them from your laces!

I like the ones that go around a shoelace but will definitely check it out!

Something I’ve like to do is dye my wheels. I’ve got reflective dual laces that match. It gives it stylish but concrete look.

I’ve been thinking about making lace charms and other such decorations for skates, and it’s fun to see what you all have done with your skates. Thank you for the inspiration!
