Vamp Up a Boring Pair of Shoes!

Recently my friends have been buying dresses from Goodwill which I change up and sew to make wearable. I keep all the extra fabric and use the scraps for assorted projects. Today I've transformed a pair of black canvas high top Keds (purchased at Goodwill) into something adorable!


What you'll need: Shoes, Mod Podge, scissors, a paint brush, ribbon, and patterned fabric.


First, you have to cut the fabric into smaller, more manageable pieces. Put a couple coats of Mod Podge on a section of the shoe and apply the piece of fabric. 
I used a fabric pencil to trace the lines of the shoe to cut a precise line; however, this step is not necessary. Add Mod Podge to the edges of the fabric. 
Repeat this for all the sections of the shoe until the fabric covers the entire shoe. It might be beneficial to let each section dry before moving on to the next. 


Poke holes with scissors for ribbon or shoe laces. Wear proudly!
