Lolita Shoes
I would like to thank Sakura Fairy for this tutorial. She can be found on lj and her website is here.
Materials Needed:
Shoes (I used shoes I found from a thrift store)
Design Master Colortool Floral Spray* (of desired color)
Ribbon (in same color)
Thread (in same color)
2 sizes of flat lace
Spray on craft glaze/sealer
Hot glue
Sand paper
Needle
Masking tape
Newspaper or other undesired paper
Steps:
1. Sand shoes with sand paper to give the paint something to hold on to.
2. Cover all of the parts of the shoes you don't want painted with the masking tape; crumple up the newspaper and put it inside of the shoes.
3. Spray on a couple of layers of paint (giving each layer time to dry) until you get the desired color. Then after letting the paint dry, spray on a layer or so of the craft glaze.
4. Remove and throw away the masking tape. Then hot glue the lace onto the shoes (not all of it!).
5. Make the ribbon into bows and hot glue them on as disired. You could also apply the ribbon onto the back of the shoes so when you put on the shoes the ribbon would criss-cross up your legs.
6. Stitch on the other lace that you didn't use onto the strap of the shoes, or wherever. Tadaa! Your shoes are finished.
