Galaxy Shoes

Galaxy Shoes 

Buy a pair of cheap canvas shoes. Make sure the shoes are a solid color. Converse, Vans, and Keds work great for this project, but you can use any shoes you'd like.

Material:

Masking tape

Your paints

Sponges (one for each color, ideally)

Paintbrushes

Paint tray

Water

Step 1- Line the soles of your shoes with tape. This is to keep any paint from getting on them. You could risk it, but tape will give you a nice, symmetrical (clean!) line when you're finished.

Step 2- Take out the laces. You know how to do that part, right?

Step 3-  Put your colors down. You can use 2 colors, and put white in the middle bc mix with white to get a brighter color. 

Step 4- With sponges, start painting on the base colors. This is where a tutorial can't really guide you -- you'll have to decide where which colors go and how much color to put on. The important thing to do is to start with dark colors, end with light colors, and to blend them together. Experiment with combining colors, too, to produce gradients.

Step 5- A good way to create details is to paint as normal then blot with a paper towel to create a softer look. Continue adding details around the shoes, using whatever method you think looks best.

Step 6- Time for stars. Using a toothpick, toothbrush, or small paintbrush, flick little specks of white paint onto your shoes. To avoid creating a masterpiece all over your floor, hold your device just a few inches away from your shoes. If you mess up, just rub it in! Tada, cloud! But when it comes to the universe, there's very little "messing up."

Step 7- Spray the sealant all over the shoes. The instructions will tell you how far back you should stand.

Have Fun !
