DIY color shoes – fun craft idea for the kids, or for yourself – and cheap!
What you need:
- White fabric shoes – the ones we used were purchased from Ardene (Price is between $10 & $15)
We got style: 0A-FW00834 – you can enter the style number in the search to find them or look up “Bamboo slip ons”
- Acrylic paints
- Paint brushes
- Disposable paint tray
- Fabric Painting Medium
- Large black garbage bags or disposable table cloths
Aside from the shoes, all other items can be purchased at most dollar stores! We got the Fabric painting medium from Buck Value.
Steps:
- Gather all items you need for the craft
- Lay out the garbage bag/disposable table cloth to protect whatever surface you are working on
- Mix the fabric paint medium with the acrylic paint (as per instructions on the bottle)
- Start painting the shoes
- Let the shoes dry
- Optional: once the shoes are dry, you can spray them with a fabric protector.
Tip: use a marker to draw out designs before starting to paint
