UpCycled Converse


It will take you only one afternoon to turn ol ho'hum sneakers into a dazzling custom made sneakers that no one else will have!


1. You'll need fabric paint (or acrylic paint + fabric medium) and clear glitter fabric paint.
2.-3. Paint little by little, making sure that you'll get all the spots, especially around the edges.
4. Let the base coat try.

5. Once your base color has dried, add clear glitter fabric paint.
6. While it dries, color the old shoelaces.
7. Mix a little bit of water with fabric paint and let the shoelaces soak at least 30 minutes.
8. Once everything is dry, you are ready to hit the road and strut your new sneakers!
