I was browsing online one day and saw an adorable pair of pastel galaxy print creepers. I clicked the link to the shop and they were 130 USD -__- So I took it upon myself to make my own, and I'll show you how, too!

First, cut the rubber bottom off the old pair of shoes that you like the top of least. Mine were a pair I started drawing on, but never finished. Good bye, Tails!
Once both rubber bottoms are cut off, glue them onto the bottoms of the good shoes. My good shoes were new, because I didn't have any other shoes I was willing to part with. I got them for 5 bucks from Walmart. Make sure the two parts are glued together really well, so they don't fall apart while you're wearing them.
Once the glue is dry, tape around the bottom (and/or any part you don't want paint on) with duct tape.
Now, mix your blue and white to get a sky blue paint. then dab your sponge in it and cover the whole shoe in blue spots. It's okay to have a little white showing, like in the picture.
Next, mix a medium purple color. Mine was about 2 parts blue, one part red, and 3 parts white. Dab that on a little less than you did the blue. Then, mix a pink with 3 parts white and one part red. Dab that on even less than the purple. Finally, dab, very lightly, a little white over top. I didn't take a lot of pictures for this because my hands were covered in paint.
Take your glitter glue and squirt little dots in the center of the bluest spots on the shoes. Then, blend it outwards with your fingers.
Take the duct tape off and add any embellishments you want. You can see, I added a black strip of fabric, some skinny lavender and powder blue ribbon, and a cute bow. I attached them all with hot glue. Let everything dry for at least 30 minutes. My glitter glue took a long time to completely dry, like an hour.
And you're done! They might not look perfect, but they're still cool and a ton cheaper than the real thing.
