Painted Vans
Hi there. This is Maddie. My mom asked me to share what I did to my Vans. I didn’t know she was going to ask me to write about this, so I don’t have a lot of photos, but I think I can just tell you what I did. I had a pair of vans that were stained so I didn’t really like wearing them. I decided I’d try to fix them with paint. Here is one of the shoes before I painted it.
I had some acrylic paint in my room, so that’s what I used.
I gave the shoes a coat of black paint, then started adding more colors and layers to make it look like a starry night. I like how they turned out. I’m a little afraid to wear them in the rain because I’m not sure whether this paint will wash off. So far I’m only wearing them on sunny days. At least I can wear them now. Do you think the paint will come off in the rain? {Please say no!}
Thanks for stopping by today!

Your shoes look so cool! You did a great job. I just dyed some shoes with my daughter, who wanted one yellow and one blue, with pink laces. It worked out really well, and I love how they become something unique that no one else has
Thanks! You’re right, it is nice to create something unique.
LOVE EM!!!! How awesome are they! Gosh I would love a pair!
