How to Make Wedding Sneakers

comfy wedding shoes

Planning a wedding takes time and careful thought to make everything perfect. The anticipation of finally walking down the aisle on your wedding day is marred only by the thought of walking down the aisle wearing those glamorous but painful high heels. Toss those heels, and be comfortable in your adorned, hand-decorated wedding sneakers. You will be the envy of everyone who kicks off their shoes and dances at your reception in their bare feet.

Instructions

Be comfortable and chic in your decorated wedding sneakers

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.

2. 

   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.

3. 

   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.

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.
