About a year ago I saw a picture on the internet of someone who had decoupaged her shoes with what I guess was some paper from a Star Wars magazine. They looked so cool! I decided I wanted to try my hand at that myself, but it took me a while before I even dared to take the risk of wrecking a perfectly good pair of shoes. Then the time came, and I just did it!
I decided to try napkin technique for my “shoe project”. In case my attempt was successful, I might some day try regular paper as well.
Results:
1. Find some shoes and strip its top layer away (in this case, fake leather), so that the underlying fabric is exposed. Apply textil potch or some other adhesive for paper napkins suitable for textiles, and start glueing the first pieces of napkin.
2. Use any tool that might help you with tiny corners and difficult spots. Like this metal spatula.
3. Finished!
4. Don’t forget to waterproof with an acrylic finisher, like the one in the picture below.
5. Start rocking those shoes and keep Walking! 🙂
