  Step 1

  This is the pair of shoes I used as a base. They are plain white canvas with a plain white rubber sole.

• 

  Step 2

  First things first, draw a design down on paper so you know exactly what you're doing when it comes to drawing on the shoes- this will save ruining them later on.

• 

  Step 3

  I first applied glitter tulle to the tongue and toe sections by pinning it on roughly, cutting it and then hand stitching it onto the shoe.

• 

  Step 4

  I then made small ruffles out of the glitter tulle and machine stitched them around the tops of the shoes.

• 

  Step 5

  The final step with the tulle was to fold in the edges and sew a strip down the back.

• 

  Step 6

  I chose twintip promarkers to apply the surface pattern design as it has the advantage over paint, being permanent yet lays flat and does not crack.

• 

  Step 7

  Use these to apply your design, using the paper design as a guide.

• 

  Step 8

  To make the wings, I placed tracing paper over the shoe and drew a template for my design. This wing design is inspired by the pegusus wings on my My Little Pony toys which I had a brief obsession with when I was younger, and nowdays love to pieces.

• 

  Step 9

  Trace two pairs of these in craft foam, and then glue the pairs together for strength.

• 

  Step 10

  To these add detail using the markers. Then mark the holes where the lacing would go through and punch holes through them.

• 

  Step 11

  To Finish I laced the shoes with ribbon, adding the wings at the top.
