The level of difficulty of this project really depends on what your pair of flats are like. Mine had this layer of synthetic stuff that was peeling so I decided the peel it all off so only fabric was exposed. Now, nail polish and sharpie bind really well to fabric, so if your shoes aren't fabric, you might want to test the materials on an part of the shoe that doesn't show to make sure they won't wear off the outside.
