Decoupage Sneakers

How cool are these Decoupage Sneakers? Use the right decoupage solution and they will stay looking good months and months. Why pay hundreds of dollars to look like someone else. Be a trendsetter and create your own unique designs on an inexpensive pair of white sneakers and pennies on tissue paper.
Trivia: The first sneaker was created in 1800, as a simple rubber-soled shoe. The nickname “sneakers” came about because they were so quiet; they even came to be used by thieves in their sneaking.
Supplies
- Canvas Sneakers
Tissue Paper

Instructions
Choose your colors of tissue paper. Tear off the straight edges. Tear the paper into irregular 1" pieces.
Beginning at the toe along the sole, brush on the decoupage solution.
