I have wanted to try painting shoes for a long time now.
A few weeks ago I picked up some really cheap shoes for the girls at Walmart and got out my sharpies to see how it would go.
I drew sketches on with pencil and then colored them in with Sharpie markers.
I made Ninja turtle shoes for Maddy.
I did My Little Pony shoes for Abi.
I had to change the eyes on the ponies after the first one (Apple bloom in the center of the shoe on the left) because she looked like she was being "mind controlled" according to Abi. I agreed. Luckily the rest of the eyes turned out better.
When they were done I sprayed them with Scotch Guard to waterproof them. It dulled the color a little and a few spots bled so I am going to try it with acrylic paint next time.
But this was a really fun and pretty easy craft and the girls LOVE them.
Maddy wants to wear hers every day!
