make those icky shoes look great!
So I took a look at my collection of shoes and had nothing cute or punk-ish to wear to my sister's party (the theme was early nineties party... not sure if the shoes fit, but they were a hit anyhow).
I made a really cute pair for my sister as well (they had a little kid in a lion costume and one in a giraffe costume) but I was so excited to give them to her, that I forgot to take pictures.
Just a side note, the pictures really don't do them justice. They're really not shiny... damned flash.

Step 1
Paint your shoes any color you'd like using the tulip soft fabric paint. Let dry or if you're impatient like me, use a hair dryer.

Step 2
Freehand a design with pencil (I use colored pencil when the design is too dark or gray). You can also make a design or find one online and print it out. For my cheapie stencils (since I never have anything lying around that I want) I just print it onto paper, cover the back with duct tape and use an exacto knife to cut it out.

Step 3
Outline design and color it in!!

Step 4
After that's dried, spray two light coats of scotch guard over the shoes. Try doing it a few feet away and make sure it's light. If it's too heavy, the paint may wash away or smear. If it does smear, pat the shoes down with a paper towel, do some touch ups and spray again.

Step 5
