How to make it
Use leather prep and alcohol near an open window.
1Clean the shoes
Wipe leather shoes with prep or alcohol on a cotton pad. Wash canvas ones and let them dry.
2Tape the soles
Run painter's tape along the sole edges so paint stays on the uppers.
3Sketch lightly
Draw your design in pencil. Start simple: checkers, flames or stars.
4Paint thin coats
Brush thin layers. Wait 15 minutes between coats. 3 thin beats 1 thick.
5Seal them
Brush on finisher once dry so it doesn't crack or rub off.
6Let them cure
Wait 24 hours before wearing.
Stuff the shoes with paper towels so the surface stays smooth while you paint.
