DIY Comic Shoes

What you will need:

• Fabric (Purchased @ JoAnn Fabrics)
• Shoes
• Mod Podge
• Fabric Scissors
• Large Ziplock Bag
• Pins
• Sharpie Marker
• Sponge Brush
• Finishing Spray

Instructions:

Remove any accents that may come attached to your high heel. If you are using used shoes, be sure to clean the surface with a damp wash cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Place the plastic bag over your shoe. (It helps to cut the bag for more control) Next pin the bag to shoe and outline the shoe with a sharpie marker.

Once you have your outlined pattern, remove pins and carefully cut around the lines. Don't make your pattern perfectly fitted, it's best to leave some slack. Make four cut outs with the same pattern, but remember to flip the pattern 2x for the other side of shoe as this will be a different shape.

Next brush a thin layer of mod podge onto your surface, leaving the back of shoe without mod podge. Carefully place your fabric over the wet glue, making sure to align the fabric to the shoe starting from base to top. After fabric is in place, smooth out by gently pressing down. Add another thin layer of mod podge over settled fabric. You should have a flap of fabric on top.

After your mod podge is dry, trim the access fabric around shoe. Be patient, this takes time and you don't want to cut too much! Cut slits in the corners that do not bend on their own. This will allow you to tuck the access fabric to the inside of shoe.

Glue the fabric on back of shoe with tacky glue and secure. Fold remaining flaps of fabric and glue to the inside of shoe. Glue all other missed edges or cracks. Trim and glue as needed, this is more using your best judgment, you want your finished product to look clean. After you are satisfied, spray with a craft finishing spray. Attach a bow (I used a foam yellow heart and a piece of fabric for the center of heart) this step is optional.

You are done! MAGIC!

My fiance wanted some too! ;)
