You Will Need (10 things)

  • Acrylic Paint - Any colours you want
  • Wooden Skewer
  • Paint Brushes
  • Paint Brushes
  • White Canvas Shoes
  • Masking Tape

Steps (6 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Tape up the soles of the shoes so you don't get paint on them. Remove the laces and paint on a layer of the darkest blue paint.

  2. 2

    Wait for it to dry a bit, then dry brush your middle shade of blue on in patches; the messier the better.
    (Note: Some people prefer to use small pieces of tissue for this part.)

  3. 3

    Repeat step two with your lightest shade of blue, then use a skewer to dot on the stars. I used a mixture of white and silver for these.

  4. 4

    If you'd like to have the comets dot on some of your star mixture and gradually make the circle bigger, then drag the paint backwards.

  5. 5

    While I was waiting for my shoes to dry I painted the ends of the laces and the holes they go through gold to make them pop a bit more.

  6. 6

    Remove your masking tape and viola - you now have your very own space shoes!
