DIY : COLORFUL CANVAS SHOES

Things you will need :

White Canvas shoes

Acrylic paints

White Acrylic paint - (To be used as Primer)

Paint Brushes

An old rag/cloth

Newspaper

Water

Pencils

Transparent Varnish/Clear Polish

Step 1 :

Paint the entire shoe with white acrylic paint and let it dry. ( White acrylic paint acts like a primer and doesn't allow the color to get absorbed into the material)

Step 2 :

After the shoe dries. Draw your design onto your shoe with a pencil and decide which colors you will be using so as to make your shoe stand out.

Step 3:

Start filling your colors in the design made.

Step 4:

Once you're done painting the entire shoe, let it dry for a few hours. (I used a blow dryer :p)

Step 5:

The final step is to seal the entire design and the colors on the shoe. I used Clear nail polish. You can use transparent wood varnish or any other polish available. Once you polish your shoes..let them dry and Viola! You have your very own custom made canvas shoes to flaunt.

Shoe customization is a fun activity, put in your own ideas and experiment. Enjoy!

Shopping experience with Jabong.com

Need to pamper yourself but no time to shop or step out of the house!? That's when online shopping comes to your rescue. As a student and a freelancer it gets really difficult for me to get time to de-stress. So this week I decided to take sometime out and give myself a treat. I was looking out for certain products which I couldn't find in my local market and that's when I decided to give online shopping a try! I stumbled upon Jabong.com which is pretty known in India. The website is easy to use and customer friendly. I had no trouble searching for the specific products that I needed. I was looking out for pure herbal products and was impressed with the variety that Jabong.com offers. The best part about my online shopping experience is the discount that I got on my purchase. Well who isn't happy with discounts! The online store has many payment methods & also offers COD method which is mostly preferred by shoppers... So I placed my order and within no time (2 days) I received my parcel.

The packaging is neat and simple. The products were packed in a box and covered with a plastic wrap which has your name,address & amount to be paid on it for delivery. Each product was individually bubble wrapped and sealed to avoid spilling. I was very happy with what I received. I would definitely recommend Jabong.com to all my friends and family looking out for a hassle free, effortless shopping experience. I will for sure shop from Jabong.com soon. Overall I'd rate this website a 5/5 for it has served me really well! Do shop from Jabong.com for an amazing experience with an endless variety to choose from.
