so cute and the name "Bill" perfect

Yesh! You should try it. It was actually surprisingly easy to paint canvas shoes. I'm very tempted to doctor my solid-colored real Toms, even.
Hm...let's see: for Epcot, you could do the Mickey head flags at world showcase (though this could be tedious and you'd need lots of different paint colors. Or you could go basic and do Spaceship Earth
For AK, you could do the obvious animal print. That'd be really easy to paint on shoes, too!
For DHS, maybe the sorcerer's hat on one shoe and a silhouette of Sorcerer Mickey on the other?
For MK, maybe the silhouette of the Castle? You could get a pair of sparkly pink canvas shoes and do this design and it'd be so adorable!
I wish I had a talent for sketching as I think it would be cute to execute these ideas!
Love them! I've been dying for those Toms on etsy too but they are so expensive. I'm too afraid to paint mine, as someone else said, for fear or ruining them because I'm not the best artist either. But yours look great!
They look amazing!!! I agree, why buy when you can make yourself!!! Did you use acrylic paint and then waterproof them?
Omg what a great idea!!! Thinking I can do that for a black pair and just add the evil queen symbols!! The apple and her crown! Or for Donald his hat! Omg so many ideas!!!!!
Tim's or so expensive. I have two pair but they are the sparkle and the lace so I can't really paint those. Guess I'll head to target or Walmart clearance soon.
AllieMallie said:I used fabric paint, actually. And yes, I used waterproofing spray after the paint dried.
I have three pairs of Toms but they're so expensive that I didn't dare touch them with these incompetent hands.My "Bills" are not as comfortable as Toms, but they'll do since I'll probably only really wear this pair at Disney.
Yeah, I think it's definitely a good idea to get non-Toms canvas shoes especially for your first project. Just FYI, Target has these types of shoes on clearance. I got a pink pair for $7. They didn't have very many colors but you can just grab one and practice on that, maybe.![]()
I could easily see using pink for rapunzel! There are so many characters, you can't go wrong!
