Here is a tutorial showing the process of shoe painting that I use.
I hope you like it and find it useful! n_n

The final shoe: [link]

Notes:
1. You don't have to paint white shoes, you can just give any colour shoes a few coats of white paint as a base before doing the rest.
2. You don't have to use acrylic - fabric paint or permanent markers should work as well, this is just one method.


Edit:
OMG!! A DD? Wow, I'm honored.
Thank you very much :iconznow-white: for featuring it.
Thanks for all your favs and comments :heart:

I've wondered how to paint my shoes for sooo long! I thought you'd use acrylic, but I wasn't sure, and I didn't want to mess up my shoes. Ya know?
Well anyways! I love the tutorial! Thank you so much!

I also wanted to paint my shoes for a long time and then I saw a video on youtube and they recommended using acrylic paint and it worked!
Glad you like it C:

It looks like so much less work when you have a tutorial to look at. Lol.

Snap, maybe I shouldn't have made it and just charged people heaps for my shoes...

Nah, I'm too nice to do that C:

Hehe, thanks n_n
I never found a tutorial before I started, just a list of materials and a list of the basic steps, I thought I might help those who were in the same situation as me.
I hope your shoes turn out well!

o3o; i use fabric markers and textured fabric paint. that way it's water proof and washer resistant.
You can get them in just about any arts and crafts store! <3

Sometimes all you need is some chocolate chip ice cream and a good movie to make you feel better.
And other times you need a machete.
