Welcome to my first tutorial! So I realized that if I want to keep doing these I am for sure going to have to learn to take better pictures! These shoes were really fun and easy to make. The mod-podge was a little tricky in some places to get it to lay nice but i'm pretty happy with them!
I'm not sure how amazing these will stand up in real life - but I know i'm certainly wearing mine to church tomorrow! I am in love with them!
So to start off making these super cute shoes grab a pair of old flats that you aren't in love with any more or find some really inexpensive ones to have a little fun with!
What you will need:
-shoes
-fabric
-mod-podge
-exacto knife
-scissors
-sponge paint brush
supplies
Start with just laying the fabric over the shoe - cut it large enough to cover the entire shoe.
Next - just trim around the edges - but make sure you still have enough room to still cover the bottom of the shoe.
Now, make a slit up the back of the shoe until it almost hits the scoop.
Cover the top of your shoe with the mod-podge -- make sure its lots!
Now put the fabric on and try to stretch it so there is as little puckering as possible.
Keep adding the mod-podge and working your way down the shoe on both sides - remember to keep smoothing out your fabric so there is no puckering.
Once you have finished both sides of the shoe - leave about 1/2 of fabric
Now you are going to want to make some slits around the curve of the fabric to make it easier to tuck under the top of the shoe.
To finish the back of the shoe - paste one strip of the fabric down and with the remaining strip fold it over and add smooth it out.
Take the exacto knife to the bottom of the shoe to take care of all the extra fabric.

Now just cover your shoes with a thick layer of mod podge and you are done!!!
I was scared they were going to feel uncomfortable - but they are awesome!
