Cherol Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Thanks so much guys!!! I painted them with acrylics, and used an acrylic spray sealant for fabric and canvas to seal them Hmm, make glitter shoes or mika shoes..... You could do both!

Buzzbuzz Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Thanks so much guys!!! I painted them with acrylics, and used an acrylic spray sealant for fabric and canvas to seal them You could do both! Oooh, I wonder if acrylic sealant would work for sealing in glitter.... I've been trying to find a sealent. I can't make both, I can't afford to!! Even though I'm planning on buying a $13 rip-off converse shoes at Meijer for my glitter pair (+ the expense of the glitter, sealant, etc), it would be really hard to find rip-off high top white converse shoes, so I might have to buy the actual pair, andd..... yea.

iadoremika Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 so I might have to buy the actual pair, andd..... yea. XD Converse are really great quality, and last a long time (they 'age' well too). So I think it would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzbuzz Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Converse are really great quality, and last a long time (they 'age' well too). So I think it would be worth it. Oh I agree!! I love my 3-4 actual Converse pairs of shoes!! :wub2: (I have a total of 5-7 pairs of "converse"/"converse lookalike" pairs.) But they are just so expensive for someone who doesn't have allowance or a job (though hopefully I do get a job this summer). Much less when you are risking ruining a pair to decorate them. Hey Cherol, what brand of Acrylic did you use, and did you do anything to the acrylic? (Like water it down, add something to it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Like water it down, add something to it) You could use spray glue on the glitter and then seal over that if you wanted. Oh and for my converse, I just painted over an old pink pair that I had. I hadn't worn them in a while so I just recylced them. I used Liquitex Basic Acrylics and I didn't water them down, but I did use some matte medium to thin some out while mixing the colors I wanted.

I've made two topics asking for info like this (One here, one in another forum) and no one gave the answer I was looking for. Do you know any good spray glue brands? Thanks for the info, and I have to say again, your shoes are brilliant! Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info, and I have to say again, your shoes are brilliant! Great job! No problema! I've only tried 3M and Elmer's Craftbond spray glue. My art teacher uses 3M and it's super good. Elmer's is good too, but I'm not sure if it lasts as long as 3M's glue. I think 3M is more expensive though. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
