#tbt

Yes, I did it.
I did the hash tag.
The throwback thursday.
Yup.

Over a year ago I did a galaxy t-shirt blog.

OKAY.
Since that post I have improved on my galaxy painting methods. I hate using the red paint and bleach so I have diverted from the typical galaxy tutorials. A while after making my t-shirt, I painted some old black canvas shoes that were too small. I just wanted to try painting some. (They turned out awesome btws but of course they didn't fit so.)

SO.
I painted some shoes that actually fit today.
Here we go:

Materials
Canvas shoes in black or navy (or you could use blue, purple, or white shoes you just have to change your paint colors) I used navy converse that I had lying around. If I hadn't already had them I would've just bought some cheap shoes from Walmart.
Paint (I used red, blue and white. I didn't have purple so I mixed but it's easier to just buy purple)
Toothbrush if you have one but you don't HAVE to have it
Masking tape (This is a must unless you are SUPER careful)
Bowls
Water
Mixing utensils
Sponges/Sponge Brushes
Paint Brushes
And uh if I forgot anything else you'll see it in the blog and you can add it to your list of supplies. :)

Step-1: Gather your stuff.

Step-2: Take those laces out. Tape up them shoes. (I'd recommend stuffing the shoes with napkins or something to make them easier to paint.)

Step-3: Paint. (Left to Right) The mixing for purple. The mixing for light blue. The mixing of blue. The mixing of pink. (Which I ended up not using so just forget about it. Should've cropped it out)

Step-4: Sponge paint in random spots.

Step-5: Sponge in some white. Take the end of a paintbrush and dot. 

 Step-6: Dip a toothbrush (not your normal one-an old/extra one) in white paint. Take your finger and pull back the bristles on the toothbrush to fling little dots on the shoe. Also, take a pencil, dip in white paint and draw "x" shapes to look like stars.

Step-I lost count: Take some glitter glue and paint on if you want. I like to. You need sparkle. Lots of sparkle.

Step-Yeah...: I put Liquid Silicone on my shoes to waterproof them. I don't plan on taking these in water but just in case...I don't want my hard work to wash away.

Step-YOU ARE DONE: 

Midnight had to inspect. 

They look better in person. They turned out pretty fabulous if I do say so myself.

It's 1 a.m. Me and Miss Midnight are hitttin' the hay.
Good luck painting!
THANKS FOR READING. You're fabulous. ;)
