Description I was inspired to makeover a pair of my shoes after seeing a lovely, quirky pair of 'Irregular Choice' shoes. I photographed the process step by step and put it all together in a tutorial for anybody who wants to have a go at making their own.

You can download the tutorial in a PDF from my blog [link]

This is so cool! I have a pair of plain white shoes that I sorta kinda started wanted to make over with fabric paint, but I think this will do way better! I'll have to try this one day (when I have money and cool looking fabric).

This wouldn't really work for my shoes. I have several pairs of pleather boots that my cats scratched up. I'd been wanting to make then over with leather. (which I do have) I just need to find the time & inspiration to do it.

Anyways, Very cool tut. If any of my heal ever get to the point where I dont wanna look at them, I will deff use this guide!

Thank you
Yes if you were wanting to cover boots with leather then it would be a different method completely... I can imagine it would be quite a lot of work though!

Ooh yes, and converse are expensive too! I did this on a cheapish pair so if it went wrong it wouldn't be so bad...
