Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Plain sneakers Ribbons Bows Paint Paint Brushes Stencils

Be comfortable and chic in your decorated wedding sneakers

Step 1

Buy a new pair of sneakers in any style, color or type. Make sure that they are comfortable. Walk around in them awhile in the store to be sure.
Step 2

Create your own style.

Go to any craft store and purchase craft paints. Acrylic paint dries faster and is easier to use than oil paint, is odor free and washes off easily. Use this paint to decorate your shoes by adding designs or even your new name after you have been married.
Step 3

Fancy silk laces

Look at the various types of craft supplies available. Check out the smaller stencils. Buy some fancy lace or ribbon to make shoe laces. Little pearls or beads can also make great decorations. These may be glued onto the shoe using a hot glue gun or sewn on using a needle and thread. Create designs with the beads by gluing or sewing them in a pattern.
Step 4

Finish off your frilly and fancy wedding sneakers with a bow of your choice and color scheme.

Tips & Warnings

Use your imagination for interesting designs and shapes. There is no right or wrong way to decorate wedding sneakers. Have your ribbon laces and bow match your wedding colors. Sprinkle sparkles over the completed decorated wedding sneakers for a glitter look. Craft stores have many other items that you might want to add to your shoes, so check them out.
