Pumpkin Shoes for a Little Pumpkin

My little boy managed to damage his leather (like) shoes so we decided to 'fix' them!

Latex

I decided to use latex as a base coat. As latex is flexible it should not crack easily.

Layers

My little one and I put three layers of latex in total. We let each layer dry for about two hours to put the other one on of course. I cleaned the edges with wet wipes ( after finishing each layer off). See pics above

After finishing and drying all three layers of latex, I put a masking tape all over the shoes and sprayed them with orange acrylic spray paint. I sprayed 3 layers in total.

I left the shoes to dry overnight. We took the masking tape off in the morning and started drawing a pumpkin face on them, using a permanent marker!
