Katie and I enjoyed playing around with paint to create some fun and unique DIY sneakers for Spring. We've got Spring fever pretty bad around here, so this project was the perfect way to prepare for warm weather and sunshine (even though we've still got snow on the ground!)
First up, here's Katie's simple geometric design…Supplies: plain canvas shoes, fabric marker, fabric paint, masking tape (optional) 1. For this design, begin by removing the shoe laces and masking off a line. Use your fabric marker to create the herringbone pattern. Continue across until all the white toe and back heel sections are covered. 2. Paint the middle section with black fabric paint. 3. After the paint is completely dry, insert your shoe laces and enjoy your newly styled shoes!For my sneakers I knew I wanted to try a painted pattern. I've been seeing this trend all over from runways to retail, and it's one of my favorites in a long time! To create this pattern I simply painted spots, blocks and shapes all over the canvas part of my shoes with colorful fabric paint. Next, I added small dots and geometric patterns with black paint to finish. I chose to leave my laces off for an easy, comfy spring look.
A note about care- These shoes are washable (machine or handwash) if you use fabric markers and paints and follow the instructions on each package completely. Each product will have different care specifications. 🙂We had so much fun creating these simple sneakers. I love that they are one of a kind, and I know I'll be wearing mine all season!

I love this DIY! I was looking for a pair of colorful canvas shoes for Spring, but I never really thought of just making them myself. I’ll definitely be adding this to the weekend crafting list. Thank you for the inspiration!
