Print Project

Step 1

In a disposable cup, add about ¼ cup (or so) of the Mod Podge® glue. Add glitter into the cup and stir to mix. The consistency should be thick and you want the glitter to dominant the mix.
TIP: You can personalise this project by modifying the icon art and glitter colours to match your inner sparkle!

Step 2

Remove the shoelaces and set aside.

Step 3

Apply glitter with a paint brush in desired areas on your shoes. Let thoroughly dry overnight and add a second coat if needed. Let dry.

Step 4

Prepare the paints with the fabric medium following the directions on the label.

Step 5

Use your paint brushes to freehand a design (such as the cactus as pictured) on the shoes. Let thoroughly dry as instructed.

Step 6

Replace your shoelaces.
