Cute Fake Bake Ice Cream Shoes
My daughter decoupaged some Walmart canvas shoes with Dollar Tree ice cream cone napkins.
1) The shoes had elastic laces so she cut them out.
2) She painted the toe and tongue of the shoes with pink acrylic paint.
3) She painted the space around the lace grommets with metallic pin acrylic paint.
4) She took parchment paper and placed it over the side of the shoe. She used a pencil and drew a template of the side of the shoe. She then cut the shape out of the parchment paper. She placed the template onto the napkin and traced the shape onto the napkin. She then cut the shape out of the napkin.
5) She used a paint brush to coat the side of the shoe with fabric mod podge.
6) She pulled off the back blank ply of the napkin and discarded. She then placed the printed and cut to shape napkin onto the side of the shoe, tapping it down into place. She added a coat of fabric mod podge over the napkin.
7) Repeat till both sides of both shoes have been covered in a napkin and coated in a couple coats of fabric mod podge. The more coats, the better.
8) She used the parchment paper to make a template of the toe area. She used the template to cut out the ice cream drip part of the napkin.
9) She added a layer of fabric mod podge to the toe area, removed the back of the cut napkin piece, and patted the ice cream drip into place on the toe. She covered in a couple layers of fabric mod podge as well.
10) She took white caulking from the Dollar Tree and squeezed it into a pipping bag with star frosting tip.
11) She piped the caulking along the seams of the shoe in a dabbing motion.
12) After completely dry, she added new 36 inch shoe strings.
