DIY Princess Elsa Shoes
MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED
white shoes
white, aqua, silver and blue metallic and glitter paint
painter’s tape
paint brushes
Mod Podge hard coat
foam paint brush
something to protect your work surface
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare the shoes for painting: Use blue painter’s tape to cover any parts you do not want painted. I chose to protect the crystal details and the soles and heels of the shoes.
Paint the base: Apply a base coat of light aqua acrylic paint on the entire shoe. Let this coat dry completely before continuing. Apply a second coat of light aqua acrylic paint on the entire shoe and let this coat dry as well. Apply a coat of Mod Podge Hard Coat on the entire shoe. Let this coat dry completely before continuing.
Paint the details: Use metallic blue paint to decorate both shoes with swirls. Then paint around the metallic swirls with blue glitter paint to add sparkle. Next, use silver glitter paint to add dots to the shoes. Add a bit of white to lighten your aqua paint, and then layer in some swooshes. Use your imagination to add any snow and ice decoration you want. Let this coat dry completely before continuing. Next, use white paint to add snowflakes of all sizes and shapes.
Finishing details: Once the snowflakes are dry, add a final layer of Mod Podge Hard Coat. Once that final coat of Mod Podge is dry, remove the painter’s tape, touch up any areas that have missing paint, and your Elsa shoes are done!
