I am going girly on this one. This a DIY. I did it because I hate throwing things away. When I can do so much with them. So i took my old pair of shoes,and changed them.
Things you will need if you plan to be as crazy as me :
- shoes
-fevicol or a substitute that matches
- Some magazine, Or any kind of paper material you would want.
- varnish
- Sandpaper.
-paint brush

Step 1: Pick out the newspaper/magazine cuttings. Cut them in small strips, because you layer them more than ones. Why? Coz shoes are oval and you can not cover all sides easily.
Step 2: Apply glue over your shoes, make sure you put it on the shoe and not on the paper, because the paper becomes transparent and gooey. It is a mess, not the DIY you want to go for :).
Step 3: After one layer, it will look messy, something like this
Step 4: So continue layering, until you want to stop, I added few of my favorite strips of the comic on the last layer.
Step 5: Wait for it to dry.(usually an hour) Paint with varnish and sandpaper around if you feel, you need to smooth-en some rough spot. and Voila, DONE!!
Keep learning :)
I'm so impressed with your old shoes and I want to do it with my old shoes. Because of your blog, I learned a lot and I got many ideas. I wish you would post more article here. Thank you.
