Plan Your Shoe Design.

This is a very important step . While doing this , it is important that you stick to this design as it will be hard to correct it later.

Stuff Your Shoe With Waste Paper.

I started painting all the areas white , leaving out the areas where I wanted it to be plain .This aids in sketching the design on the shoe. If you wish to skip this step , you could use a pen to draw the design too; Especially for the leather-ish texture my shoe has . I also started painting all the plain areas black . I also suggest using a pencil for painting around the eyelet. I chose a triangle pattern with three colors . Black, blue, pink !

Upgrade!

Now, you will create the same design as you did on the other shoe .A good tip is to measure the length of the design and divide the number of rows for accuracy . Make the same color pattern as you did on the first shoe .

Personalize.
