Adventure Time Shoes

My son LOVES this cartoon Adventure Time on the Cartoon Network. So I thought after making the Angry Bird shoes for my niece that I would make a pair of Adventure Time shoes for him for Christmas.

I didn't realize how hard it was to find simple white canvas slip on shoes for boys but I finally gave up after the only ones I found were expensive and I would have to pay shipping also. I found these black OP ones at Walmart for only $10.

I was planning on painting a whole setting for the characters on the shoe but since the shoes were black I decided to just do all the main characters with the background the shoe. I think it makes them stand out more and it certainly make the painting easier and faster.

He hasn't opened them yet but these shoes are bound to be his favorite because

1. Finn and Jake
2. something to show off at school and
3. he won't have to tie his laces anymore!!

If you want to know what paint/technique to make these check out the Angry Bird shoes I made.
Hope you all are having a good holiday season!

Angry Bird Shoes

It's that time again! Christmas is a few weeks away and I am finishing up some of the gifts I am making for friends and family. Here are the Angry Bird Shoes I painted for my niece Kendalyn.

She is 13 and a big fan of her cell phone and Angry Bird app. So when I saw these shoes: Angry Bird Shoes I thought they would be perfect for the really hard to shop/make something for, teenage girl.

All I did was sketch out the characters onto the shoes, paint them with fabric paint, then seal them with a clear acrylic spray paint. (Click here if you want to read up on options to seal your painted shoes.)

I am happy with the way they turned out and excited for the next pair I am painting tonight, after my son goes to sleep,.... Adventure Time!
