Customize Your Canvas Shoes with Fabric Glue
Decorating canvas shoes can transform a simple pair of footwear into a work of art. It’s a creative and enjoyable DIY project that allows you to express your style and personality. Here we explore three delightful ways using Aleene’s notions adhesives to decorate your canvas shoes: with lace, soft blue fabric butterflies and pearls.
Supplies Needed:
• Aleene’s Fabric Fusion Dual-Ended Pen
• Aleene’s Quick Dry Fabric Fusion
• White canvas shoes of choice
• Assorted ribbons and lace
• Assorted embellishments like pearls, beads and fabric accents
• Straight pins
Prepare Your Canvas Shoes
If decorating new canvas shoes, remove all tags, stickers and any manufacturer add-ons. Make sure your canvas shoes are clean. Remove laces if necessary for decorating. If desired, sketch out your design on paper. This will help you visualize the final product.
Lace Shoes
Lace is a timeless material that can add elegance and sophistication to your canvas shoes. To get started, you’ll need some lace fabric, scissors and Aleene’s Quick Dry Fabric Fusion. Begin by cutting the lace into pieces that fit sections of your shoes that you want to cover. Carefully glue the lace onto the canvas, ensuring it adheres smoothly without wrinkles. The intricate patterns of the lace will give your shoes a delicate and vintage look, making them perfect for a casual day or special event.
Butterfly Shoes
If you’re looking to add a whimsical touch to your canvas shoes, fabric butterflies are a fantastic choice. Use Aleene’s Fabric Fusion Dual-Ended Pen to attach them to your shoes and arrange them in a pattern that suits your taste. You can scatter them across the shoe or apply in clusters. These beautiful butterflies will make your canvas shoes stand out and add a playful, nature vibe to any outfit.
Pearl Shoes
Pearls bring a touch of luxury and glamour to your canvas shoes. With Aleene’s Fabric Fusion, you can easily add strings or clusters of pearls to create intricate designs or a minimalist look, depending on your style preference.
