💗 Chalk mineral paint — I used Dixie Belle’s Fluff ☁️ (white) and Caviar 🖤 (black).
💗Gold Gilding wax — Because you know I love the shine ✨

DIY gift ideas: Part 3 🎁
Aren’t these cheer shoes cute?! 👟 I’ve been so into wearable art lately! ❤️ If you’re worried about messing up on Vans or you want a bit of a cheaper option, try the budget versions of these sneakers at Walmart or Target! 🙌🏼 And there are so many designs you could paint onto them!
Want to try this? You only need 5 things!:
👟Canvas shoes
🖌️Chalk mineral paints
✏️A pencil
🖊️A sharpie
🎨Easy Peasy spray wax
The steps:
1. Paint a base coat of paint, or even a clear top coat — This ensures that your paint doesn’t feather, so even though this was a white shoe, I painted it white with @dixiebellepaint Fluff for a base.
2. Draw your design in pencil — If drawing isn’t your strong suit, you can even print out images so you can trace the shapes.
3. Trace the outline of your design in Sharpie — This will prevent the paint from smearing and gives you a nice outline for your shapes.
4. Use chalk mineral paint to paint your designs — Keep the paint thin so there isn’t much build up and do layers if you have to!
5. Seal with easy peasy spray wax — Instead of spraying it on, I pour into a bowl and brush it on to ensure I cover the whole surface.
I certainly hope you feel inspired to give DIY shoes a try for gifts this year!

CHECKERED PATTERN IDEAS! ◼️◻️◼️◻️◼️◻️
Checks are something I LOVE incorporating, not just because it adds some whimsy, but also because I think that when you paint something that has a lot of detail, it can be meditative. Some of my best moments are alone, in my studio, focusing on creating a pattern and painting inside the lines.
7 ideas to incorporate these into your DIYs 👇🏼
1️⃣ Kitchen items - Knife blocks, plates, salt & pepper shakers... 🔪
2️⃣ Holiday decor - Giant nutcrackers, ornaments, decorative trays...🎄
3️⃣ Tea sets - You can incorporate the pattern across all pieces to tie them together visually 🫖
4️⃣ Furniture - Table tops, small details on drawers, or the side of furniture are great places to incorporate this 🖌
5️⃣ Clothing - Shoes, hats, jean jackets...👟
6️⃣ Decorative containers - You can use this type of decor to repurpose for each holiday and season 🎨
7️⃣ Grandfather clocks - So fun to upcycle! 🕰
If this seems to complex for you, I have an entire course that teaches you the how-to of checks AND color blending with paint! I'll drop it in the comments!
