decoupaged shoes

This is something I've wanted to try for quite awhile.  I was at my friends house the other night and somehow it came up again and reminded me that I should go for it!  My family had a family photo shoot last night and the colors we wore were a variety of blues and this lime green.  I was wearing jean, white, and gray and "needed" some cool shoes.  So,  this is the outcome of about an hours worth of work.  I grabbed my paint brush and glue, scissors and fabric and came up with this!  I was surprised at how easy this actually was to do.  Whenever I am decoupaging I always use lots of glue (mod podge, decoupage, or my secret: a mixture of elmer's glue and water!  shhhh...) and get it all over my fingers.  Seriously, I do recommend using a lot of glue and using the brush to apply the mixture onto both surfaces but then using your fingers to do the sticking and rub out any bubbles/ air pockets that might be there.  For the shoes I pretty much saturated the fabric while I went along.  I made sure there was a straight edge around the edge of the sole, but otherwise I just glued and cut as I went along.  I've been asked for some sort of tutorial, but there's really nothing to it.  Don't be afraid to try!  That's my advice.  These shoes were $1.98 two years ago at Goodwill and I enjoying them over the past 2 years, and now they're "new" again when covered with this vintage fabric I scored at a yard sale.  If you have any questions I'll try to answer them in the comments.  Oh, a friend did wonder how they would hold up.  I wouldn't be afraid to wear these in the rain, but I probably won't go puddle jumping in them. :)  The glue dries hard and clear. They are stiff and durable feeling to me.  You can apply several coats of decoupage over the outside if you want to seal them.
