Question

I painted shoes for my granddaughter and the color ran. Is there some preparation I should do before I paint?

Community Answer

You do not need to prepare them in any way, but after you're done painting them, apply a spray that protects shoes. Spray on a couple of coats or follow the instructions on the container.

Question

What type of paint can be used to decorate canvas shoes?

Community Answer

Fabric paint works well, but acrylic may work, too. Avoid watercolors and tempera paint, as they run easily.

Question

How do I make the colors of the markers blend together when decorating my canvas shoes?

Community Answer

Use rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball to gently dab the places you want to blend. Using a small spray bottle full of rubbing alcohol also works.

Question

How do I prevent my canvas shoes decorated with markers from soaking through to my socks?

Community Answer

Wait for it to fully dry, inside and out. Do not wear the shoes until at least 24 hours after you created them.
