How to Paint Shoes

After sharing How to Paint Shoes featuring my daughter’s artwork on canvas shoes, I received a lots of comments and emails asking for more details. It seems a lot of people would like to try making their own custom shoes as well as selling them to earn extra cash.

I’ve put all of the how-tos, lots of images, and answers to your questions in a new ebook, How to Paint Shoes: A beginner’s guide to creating custom canvas shoes with acrylic paints.

There are many ways to approach painting canvas shoes and the way we show in the book is simply what we’ve found works best for us.

It’s intended to give you a good idea of everything involved, showing the supplies we use, how we use them, and any tips and tricks we have learned along the way.

From there you can get started with your own hobby or business as a custom hand-painted shoe designer.

Getting Started

How to Paint Shoes: A beginner’s guide to creating custom canvas, leather, or vinyl shoes with acrylic paints is a starter guide providing everything you need to know to hand-paint your own canvas shoes.

It is intended for amateur artists with some basic drawing and painting experience, eager to try adding their own designs (or fan art) to plain shoes.

The ebook shares which materials to use and how to apply them. It’s a starting point for exploring your creative ideas for art that walks!

To write the book, I got help from my daughters who are both accomplished artists and have done a lot of experimenting with this particular medium.

One has managed to earn good pocket money with her own unique designs.

Once friends at school see how cool these shoes look, they either want to make their own or commission someone to create some for them.
