Personalize Shoes with Acrylic

Step 4Sharpie Details

Sharpie Details

Now you can outline your picture, add little details and fill in the extra space of your image.

1. Add details and outline, if you mess up with the sharpie just touch it up with more paint.
2. Fill in the extra space with sharpie and black paint if you have black shoes. If you have white or other color shoes try to make an acrylic mix of paint that best matches your shoe color and fill in the extra space.

Ideas: You can use sharpie to draw on the rubber part of the shoe like I did. The sharpie will wear down and rub off eventually on this part of the shoe, so it may be necessary to cover your little pictures with varnish to protect them.

just a tip: instead of sharpie, try using a ballpoint ben. Black or blue is perferred, but i think any would work. I have designs on my shoes in ballpoint pen and they have lasted since december with few touch ups
