Customizing shoes is a very fun activity. The important thing is that the fabric of the shoe can be colored and, with a little imagination, you too can create original shoes and show your artistic side.
Steps
Step 1. Purchase white or light-colored plimsolls
To bring out the colors and patterns, it is best to use light-colored shoes.
Step 2. Get some paint, highlighters, and permanent fabric markers
Make sure that the products are suitable for use on fabrics and that the color does not go away in contact with water.
Step 3. Draw and write on the shoes
Look at the images in the article for inspiration. Below you will find other ideas:
- your name or nickname, or the name of your dog / cat
- initials (graffiti style letters are very nice)
- original motifs
- lightning
- fake studs
- smiling facets
- skulls
- random words or phrases you like
- flowers
- zig zag scribbles
- various objects
Step 4. Be creative to create unique shoes
Consider adding other decorations, for example, glue bows, pom-poms, change the color and pattern of the strings, attach googly eyes, etc.
Advice
- If you think you are very good and if you like to be creative, you could also sell your creations in local markets or shops.
- You don't have to create super complicated patterns; sometimes, simplicity is more beautiful and interesting.
- Try customizing an old pair of shoes; in this way, if you make mistakes, or if you don't like the final result, you won't have wasted money.
Warnings
- Plan ahead what you want to do with your shoes.
- Make sure that all the materials you will use are water resistant, including the glue.
