“Show your feet, show your shoes!”, It says in an old German children’s song. Of course, the request is more likely to come true the more handsome the shoes are. But as you quickly get used to seeing sneakers and pumps off the rack, here are 5 easy-to-implement DIY ideas to beautify your shoes.
For this you need first of all appropriate sneakers or canvas shoes in the way they are seen in the video. And then it can start:
1 ) dye shoes
For that you need:
vaseline
10 tablespoons salt
2 l of hot water
Textile paint of your choice
That is how it goes:
1 1) The first idea to make shoes yourself is perfect for white sneakers. First coat the edge of the rubber sole with Vaseline.
1 2) Stir in a mixture of ten tablespoons of salt, two liters of hot water, and textile dye. Dip the shoe into the mixture, chopping, but save the tab.
1 3) Blur the paint with a cloth to blend the color of the fabric and the shoe.
1 4) Wipe off the Vaseline. Of course, the Vaseline must be applied only as far as you want to immerse the shoe. Now you can make the city with colored Tretern uncertain.
2 ) provided with motifs
For that you need:
Napkins of your choice
napkins glue
a fine brush
handkerchiefs
That is how it goes:
2 1) Find a napkin with designs that you would like to immortalize on your shoes and remove the top, printed layer from the rest of the napkin.
Use a brush to paint some water around the subject. This makes it easier to tear out of the napkin fabric.
2 2) Apply the motives with napkin glue on the shoe. First stuff the shoe with handkerchiefs and press the motifs with a ball of cling film on the shoe. As a result, the napkin does not stick to your fingers and the shoe is not pressed in due to the resistance inside.
2 3) Carefully apply a layer of glue to finish off. Wait for it to dry before putting your shoes back on and wearing them.
3 ) provided with stripes
For that you need:
narrow tape
Fabric color of your choice
a sponge brush
That is how it goes:
3 1) The third way to beautify shoes, especially recommended for pumps with textile or synthetic surface. First glue evenly spaced narrow tape around the shoe.
3 2) Using a sponge brush, apply the fabric of your choice to the exposed areas of the shoe.
3 3) Remove the tape and the pumps now have a chic stripe look.
4 ) Pimp shoes with glitter
For that you need:
Glitter
napkins glue
a character template
a sponge brush
That is how it goes:
4 1) First mix napkin glue and glitter together.
Repeat the shoe with handkerchiefs and place a plastic marker with a pattern of your choice on the shoe.
4 2) Apply with the stencil and a sponge brush the glue-glitter mixture on the shoe. Let this help you best from someone who holds the template for you.
5 ) decorate the tab
For that you need:
Fabric in the optics of your choice
Decoupage glue
That is how it goes:
5 1) First cut a piece of fabric that you would like to stick to the flap of your shoe.
Coat the front of the flap with decoupage glue and place the fabric on top.
5 2) The piece of fabric should be so large that you can put some of it around the tab and stick it on the back.
5 3) With laces that – as in this case – have the same color as the shoe’s upper, you can put a chic accent with a patterned flap.
Spice up your shoes can be so easy! You will not find such treads in any shoe store.
