Making Decoupage Sneakers

Supplies Needed

Canvas Sneakers

Colored Tissue Paper

Outdoor Mod Podge

Craft Beads

Foam Brush

Paper Plates

First begin by choosing your colors of tissue paper. You can really choose how ever many colors you want to use. Take the selected paper and tear it into irregular one inch pieces. Begin at the toe of the shoe along the sole pour some decoupage solution on to a paper plate and then brush it using the foam brush onto the canvas shoes. Lay the tissue pieces onto the shoes selecting pieces that will fit the best along the curve of the sole. It's like creating a puzzle that will fit together well. Overlapping edges will create interesting color combinations. Brush a top coat of outdoor decoupage solution on on top of the sneakers. Let the shoes dry completely for at least twenty four hours and then apply a second coat. You can string colored craft beads onto the laces to give your sneakers a little extra flare. (It may help to remove the laces while applying the decoupage.) Have Fun!
