Remove the laces. Then, cover the entire tongue of the sneaker with a generous coat of Decou-Page. Decou-Page works as a glue, sealer and finish. In this project we are using it as a glue.
Cut out a piece of fabric slightly bigger than the tongue of your sneaker and place it down on the still wet Decou-Page covered tongue. You will want to cut the bottom in a curve and aline that first. Be sure that there are no bubbles and that it is laid on there flat.
Wrap the excess fabric around to the inside. Adhere it down with more Decou-Page. Repeat on both shoes. Let them dry completely before re-lacing.
I am in love with my new shoes! I love the pop of pink with the turquoise sneakers. You can use this tutorial and switch it up to fit your own style. These shoes are going to be perfect for summer- I think they will go great with some denim shorts! What pattern fabric would you accent your sneakers with?
