No More Big White Sneaker Toes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
A year ago, I copied a pair of designer sneakers that were embellished with glitter and chains, and wrote about it in this blog. They were pretty complicated to do, but I was quite happy with the results.
I liked the way they jangled a bit when I walked, and later I got some glittery silver laces for them. Then,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sometime last summer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I noticed I hardly every wore them.
Now, I DO wear a size 9, and these particular hightops come from Payless, where they don make a nice small round toe cap, like you get on Chucks. So it wasn just the whiteness that bugged me.
But I still felt like Moby Toes. So I decided to change the color of the toe. Now, since sneaker toes are rubber,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you can paint them and expect the paint to stick very long. You can color them with Sharpies, but the color fades pretty quickly.
The best thing to do is to glue something on top of those toes, preferably fabric. There is a great glue called Flip Flop Glue that works well to adhere fabric to rubber. I wrote about it awhile back when I used this technique to cover the white rubber strip at the bottom of some platform sandals. (If you use the Search box on this page and type in FLIP FLOP GLUE, it will take you to a couple other posts where I mentioned it.)
So I started searching through my fabric stash to find colors, patterns, and textures that would work with the glitter-and-chains look. I pulled out some Ultrasuede scraps, some printed fabric, and a couple of stencils.
Then I needed to create a template for cutting out the fabric. This is actually quite easy. Here are the steps.
1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Cut out a piece of lightweight paper a little bit larger than the toe. Be sure it has one straight edge.
2. Line the straight edge up against the straight edge of the rubber toe cap,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Hold it in place with one hand,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
3. With your other hand, use the edge of your thumbnail to press a crease into the paper along the ridge where the toe cap meets the sidewall of the sneaker.
4. Remove the paper, mark the crease with a dark pen and label it TOP LEFT or RIGHT. This is for two reasons. First, once you cut out your template,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it easy to forget which side was up. Second, the rubber toe caps on your left and right sneakers WILL NOT BE exactly the same size and shape!
5. Cut out the shape with scissors. See if it covers the toe cap,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and if not, trim it or make a new, larger shape. Frankly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it doesn need to be perfect,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], especially on the rounded part. Any discrepancy is barely visible from above.
6,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Now repeat the process for the other toe.
Voila! You have two little patterns you can use to cut out covers for your toe caps. Place them on top of your choice of fabric, draw an outline with a marker, and cut!
The last step is to squeeze a generous squiggle of Flip Flop Glue on the underside of the fabric. The glue is white, but it dries clear. Now take an old credit card to use as a squeegee and spread the glue evenly. You want the glue to cover the entire area, though it doesn need to be thick. Press the fabric covering in place over the toe and wait for it to dry before wearing. (The package says 24 hours.)
Here are the different fabrics I used and what they look like in place,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
On the left is black Ultrasuede, on the right is blue Ultrasuede.
These two are cotton quilting fabrics. You don have to worry about the fabric fraying because it will have glue all over the back of it.
On the left is a toe covering of Ultrasuede that been painted and glittered the same way the hightops were (with Neopaque Black paint and Starlet Glitter It! paint). On the right is Ultrasuede that been stenciled with Neopaque Black. You get great results stenciling on Ultrasuede and fabric because they absorb the paint,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unlike leather.
And the winner is. This is black Ultrasuede that been stenciled with Lumiere Metallic Silver. (I found the stencil on Mary Beth Shaw blog.) To stencil, pour a small amount of paint on a flat surface (I use a paper plate),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], spread it around a little bit and dab up some paint with a cosmetic wedge. Then dab over the stencil. It comes with a bottle of paint base and a little packet of glitter. Now, someone has to open the big jars of glitter that come from the glitter elves and spoon just the right amount of each of the 21 colors into their packets. Being the head honcho, Margot is that someone. Problem is, she's not the tidiest person in the Western hemisphere and after 20 or so packets, there are a lot of microscopic (but fetchingly sparkly) particles of glitter in her hair, on her cheeks, and decorating her nose. One day someone came in during this process and remarked, "This place looks like a glitter sweatshop!"相关的主题文章：
