  Step 1

  Obtain a pair of shoes. Be cautioned: pick an old pair, something you never wore, or prepare for utter sadness if your hand slips and it looks like you knocked into a shelf at Michael's.

• 

  Step 2

  Cover the leathery surfaces or any appendages (pesky ribbons, tags) with blue tape and tuck out of the way. You can use any tape really but painter's tape is rather convenient for...painting.

• 

  Step 3

  Start to paint.

  Feel triumphant because your precaution worked.

• 

  Step 4

  Paint a base coat. You don't have to do this if you're painting directly onto the shoe.

  Be careful in pesky detailed areas.

• 

  Step 5

  Your paint is dryinnnnggg.

  Maybe while you wait, make a sandwich. Contemplate Tibetan Sovereignty. Wonder if Obama wears make-up.

• 

  Step 6

  Your paint is dry now. If the paint is still transparent, add a new layer; if you don't care (I think it looks cool here) then leave it.

• 

  Step 7

  Paint in details. Further accelerate your fervor for robotic design.

  Wait for it to dry again. Repeat step 5.

• 

  Step 8

  Whip out the mod podge, and apply a coat. Don't be alarmed if things appear milky/white. It dries clear.

  Once the first coat is dry, you can apply another if you're the cautious type.

• 

  Step 9

  Procrastination project complete. Now you have to do homework.

Did you have to prepare the surface of the shoes before you painted on them; and does the paint ever peel, crack or flake off at all? Thanks, and cute shoes!
