DIY Shoes: Piano City Lights –Vans

Materials:

Old/New Canvas slip ons
Pencil 
Ruler or straight edge
Fabric Paint 3D (I call it puffy paint)



My parents are from Hong Kong so they used to take me back there every Christmas break. (Yeah and skip school for two months! Bad, I know…) Each time we would go to the peak or the harbor and see the city lights and since its was Christmas it was always super festive. I love it there. Thats how I decided the city I was going to use. Another obsession I have is with piano keys, no I don't know how to play a piano, but that doesn't mean it can't love it…right? Lol. Anyway when I was in college one of my roommate got me into skateboarding and I wanted to design the skate board with piano keys on the bottom with city lights on top (Can you imagine it?! It look so cool in my head), but I never got around to actually buying a skate board. These aren't as cool as I imagine (They look better far away) but the design came from that idea. So let get started.



I always pre draw everything with pencil in case I mess up. Sectioned off the piano area and drew the city lights on top, while the other shoes I left for scribbles and music notes. 


Give it a try. You'll be surprise at what you can do. There a piece of creativity in all of us. Have fun =D
