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!
