Hello lovelies! 

Feeling creative and want to get better at drawing and design? Then you've come to the right place. Today I've decided to share my DIY how-to process on decorating canvas shoes! 

You can check out the full instagram video below, followed by a step-by-step guide with pictures explaining the process. 

Let's jump right in!

Step-by-step photo guide

What you'll need:

1. Shoes! I've chosen white converse sneakers, but any version that is light colored canvas will do!

2. POSCA paint markers

I chose gold, but they come in a huge variety of colors...so choose a color you love and be you!

These quick dry acrylic paint markers are water-based, odorless, and can be rinsed when wet. Once dry, it becomes water-resistant!

3. (Optional)...your trusty sidekick!

4. Scrap paper

The process...

It's important to make sure the markers are flowing nicely on your scarp paper before you get started.

Once the ink is flowing, I recommend trying out the markers in a discreet spot.

Then, wait for it to dry and make sure you’re happy with them.

If all looks good, then start decorating!!

Try not to get distracted by cuteness...

I chose to do two different flowers, one for each shoe.

An anemone,

and a peony!

It dries very quickly, and just like that- all done!

Here's the finished product:

There you have it! I really hope you enjoyed this step-by-step process guide. Decorating your own accessories is so much fun and it allows you to get creative while showcasing your own unique style. Be you!

Feel free to let me know if you decide to give it a try, I love seeing your results.

As always, thanks for being interested in what I do!

Cheers!
