Altered Sneakers

Altered Sneakers Project

by Carol Heppner

Looking for great designer sneakers for your little one without spending an arm and a leg? Then, I have a project for you! These great sneakers are created with Tulip's Fabric Markers and the ribbon used as laces will stop fraying when you use Aleene's Stop Fraying by iLovetoCreate tm.

While made for fabric, you use these markers just like the ones you use on paper. Just draw your design, let the marker dry, and that's it. No heat setting and no worrying about the fabric bleeding through the canvas.

This project was so simple that my four-year-old niece helped make these sneakers. She added some of the dots and helped to color the sides of the sneakers. She also helped pick out the colors.

Can't find the ribbon to match the shoes? Then just pick up white ribbon and create dots on the ribbon with the markers. It's that easy!

The Altered-Canvas Sneaker project is a pdf file which you can print out.

Once you create your altered sneakers, join me on Facebook and show me what you have created. Hope you enjoy this project and I look forward to seeing you on Facebook!
