I couldn't resist making a pair of Crafterella comic print shoes and I'm so happy with how they turned out.

You Will Need (9 things)

  • Shoes
  • Crafterella Comic strip you didn't like
  • Modge Podge
  • Foam Brush
  • Cross Stitch Fabric
  • Black & red Embroidery Floss
  • Embroidery Needle
  • Black Felt
  • Glue

Steps (11 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    For this you'll need a pair of shoes that are ideally leather or another material with a smooth finish. You'll also need a couple of pages of a comic book and some modge podge.

  2. 2

    Working on one small area at a time, paint your shoe with modge podge.

  3. 3

    Cut out some frames from your comic and place them on your shoe before painting over them with another layer of modge podge.

  4. 4

    Build up your design until you have covered your whole shoe. Make sure to get lots of pows and speech bubbles on there to make them look extra awesome.

  5. 5

    Paint with several layers of modge podge, leaving each coat to dry hard.

  6. 6

    To make some cute shoe clips, sketch out a speech bubble or action bubble design on to cross stitch fabric.

  7. 7

    Stitch around the words with black embroidery floss.

  8. 8

    Cut out your design and place on black felt.

  9. 9

    Use a contrasting colour of thread to stitch the bubble onto the felt and cut off any excess cross-stitch fabric. Cut a small border of black felt around your design.

  10. 10

    I then cut the bows off the front of my shoes.

  11. 11

    Glue your shoe clips in place and you're ready to go fight crime in your cute new shoes!
