Turn overtly cute footwear into something you might actually wear.
I had a pair of admittedly cute but not-me shoes. I also didn't want to study for AP's...what does that breed? Boredom! They might not look as good as the original, but I'd actually wear them, so it's all good.
Text on shoes (second picture) say, "Give me liberty...Or some doritos."

Step 1Obtain a pair of shoes. Be cautioned: pick an old pair, something you never wore, or prepare for utter sadness if your hand slips and it looks like you knocked into a shelf at Michael's.
-
Step 2Cover the leathery surfaces or any appendages (pesky ribbons, tags) with blue tape and tuck out of the way. You can use any tape really but painter's tape is rather convenient for...painting.
-
Step 3Start to paint.
Feel triumphant because your precaution worked.
-
Step 4Paint a base coat. You don't have to do this if you're painting directly onto the shoe.
Be careful in pesky detailed areas.
-
Step 5Your paint is dryinnnnggg.
Maybe while you wait, make a sandwich. Contemplate Tibetan Sovereignty. Wonder if Obama wears make-up.
-
Step 6Your paint is dry now. If the paint is still transparent, add a new layer; if you don't care (I think it looks cool here) then leave it.
-
Step 7Paint in details. Further accelerate your fervor for robotic design.
Wait for it to dry again. Repeat step 5.
-
Step 8Whip out the mod podge, and apply a coat. Don't be alarmed if things appear milky/white. It dries clear.
Once the first coat is dry, you can apply another if you're the cautious type.
-
Step 9Procrastination project complete. Now you have to do homework.
"give me liberty, or some doritos" HAHA! thats amazing
love the robots, very awesome.
But what I liked even more were your funny comments in the tut! XD
I love it!!
