Perfect for teams, playdates, special events – or just to be creative! Â You can easily design and paint your own custom sneakers with Elmer’s Painters Paint Markers. Â These are called “markers” with good reason – they are as easy to use as a standard marker. Â I loved using Painters Paint Markers and was amazed at how fast is was to be an “artist”.
I found everything I needed at Walmart in the craft and shoe departments. Â First I looked for the Elmer’s Painters Paint Markers and a lovely employee helped me to go there straight away. Â Just one aisle over from Kids Crafts. Â I loved all the shades of blue and pink. Â I knew I wanted to make a pair of shoes for Rosie and those are her colors!
Loved the varieties of colors!
Next I headed to the ribbon section in the sewing and crafts area. Â I found some great blue “bling” sparkly ribbon that would work perfectly for shoe laces. Â It didn’t come in pink, so that made the decision for me on whether to go with shades of pink or shades of blue. Â Rosie loves Minnie Mouse – and that means bows! Â There was a great selection of adorable bows and I found some stick on bling that I thought would work well too. Â That’s the advantage of making it yourself, you can customize it to your own child’s likes.
Huge selection of ribbon to use as shoe laces
Adorable bows and embellishments!
I was nervous about “freehand painting” – no erasers! Â Hmmm, I know, stencil! Â I googled Hidden Mickey stencil and found a nice Mickey shape I could cut out and use. Â With a pencil, I drew the Mickeys onto the shoes.

The Painters Paint Markers are super easy to use. Â You shake them, with the cap on, and you can hear the little mixing beads inside. Â Then you depress the tip onto a surface (I used paper), until the paint starts coming out. Â You’re ready to create!
Shake with cap on, press tip onto surface until paint starts coming out. Easy!
As easy as using a marker!
I am very excited about letting Rosie and a friend make their own! Â Fun craft for a playdate. Â At my Walmart, the shoes were only $5.00. Â The paint markers, which look as if they would last quite a while, were $1.97 each. Â That’s a great price for such a fun craft.
