DIY: Saddle shoes!

I was in desperate need of some new shoes but I couldn't really afford to spend too much. SO while looking at the local DI I came across a pair of white canvas tennis shoes.The were in good condition and only $4.00 SO I though ok sure why not. Im not much of a white shoe person, They always get way too dirt. I decided I wanted to add something to them at first I thought I would just draw on them and add some color. But then I got a great idea. I was going to turn them into 1950's Saddle Shoes!

Here is my before picture (ignore the date, for some reason my camera like to get stuck in 2007)

Here is the After Picture!

All you have to do is get black fabric marker and TADA you have an awesome pair of Saddle Shoes! 

They do need touched up a splash, I would recommend making them in a very brightly lit room that is well ventilated.

I hope to find more shoes that I can do things like this with, so I will be looking at the thrift stores often and keep you all posted.
