Description

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

Instructions

  1. Small 109050 2f2015 05 26 152603 img 7326

    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. Small 109050 2f2015 05 26 152647 img 7329

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

  3. Small 109050 2f2015 05 26 152801 img 7330

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

  4. Small 109050 2f2015 05 26 152841 img 7359

    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. Small 109050 2f2015 05 26 152926 img 7357

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

  6. Small 109050 2f2015 05 26 153114 img 7361

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

  7. Small 109050 2f2015 05 26 152946 img 7360

    Stitch around the words with black embroidery floss.

  8. Small 109050 2f2015 05 26 153134 img 7363

    Cut out your design and place on black felt.

  9. Small 109050 2f2015 05 26 153152 img 7364

    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. Small 109050 2f2015 05 26 153222 img 7365

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

  11. Small 109050 2f2015 05 26 153253 img 7367

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