These shoes are perfect for the
Spring/Summer, they
go with almost everything and they are quite
easy to make :)
This DIY goes for all colours, which means if you want to do it on Blue Shoes for example , it will still be the same tutorial ;-)
You will need :
-
Red (Or the colour you want)
Shoes ( I got mine at
Primark for 3 euros! )
-
Black Acrylic Paint
-
A Fine Painting-Brush
-
A Pencil
- Scotch Tape
Tip : Wherever you do this, just make sure you've got something under the shoes while painting them, like old newspaper or plastic-bags, as you sure don't want to get Acrylic paint on the floor !
Step 1 : Take off the laces and tape the sides of the shoe.
All is in the title !
Step 2 : Draw the pattern
Using your
paper-pencil ,
draw the leopard-pattern on the shoe to facilitate the painting-part. You can
use a picture of pattern as a model if you want to, it's easier especially if you're afraid to fail the pattern.
Step 3 : Paint.
Take your
brush and start
painting over the pattern you've drawn on the shoe. Don't paint like it's some kind of paper, just "
dot" gently with your brush on it.
Step 4 : Allow to dry + take off the tape
I let mine
dry for the night. Acrylic paint dries quickly, but it's always better to let dry for a long time, just to be really sure !
You can
take off the tape of the sides of the shoe, and once they are completely dry
put the laces back !
Admire your work !
