When I saw these cheap but cute canvas loafers in a local store, I knew what their new look was gonna be: watermelon!

This is what you need
First thing, fill the shoes with crinkled newspaper. This will keep the canvas straight (mine had an elastic, so this was a must).
Then, mask the sole and the back of the shoe. Paint the red part of each one. When the first color is dry, mask it and paint with your second color: green.
When that it done, you can make the watermelon seeds with a thin paintbrush and black paint. Let them dry completely before removing the tape from the sole. If paint bled onto the sole, remove it carefully with an ear stick soaked in water.
That’s it! Enjoy the rest of the summer.
