Here’s a fun technique to transform plain shoes into pretty shoes! Hand-painted tissue paper can be easily collaged onto shoes, boots and any cool footwear. Tiffany Windsor was inspired to transform these thrift store sandals in pretty shades of pink – perfect for a springtime walk. Featured on Cool2Craft TV.

For my project, I used hand-painted tissue papers. Rice paper also works well for this technique. Select a paper that is soft yet durable. |
 |
Brush Aleene’s Collage Pauge onto surface of shoe. |
 |
Brush Aleene’s Collage Pauge on wrong side of painted tissue. |
 |
Lay paper over sandal strap. |
 |
Brush another coat of Aleene’s Collage Pauge on top of tissue paper. |
 |
Cut off excess. Dip finger into Aleene’s Collage Pauge and rub it over the surface of the tissue until most wrinkles have been pushed out. I prefer to cut off excess along sides (rather than folding them to the back side because any wrinkles can potentially rub your foot.) Let dry completely. |
