what a great idea!!!!!!! Great paint job!!!!! I have a pattern for flowers that use crayons instead of paints. LQS recommended PRANG brand crayons instead of Crayola. Patterns says to iron fabric to remove wax by putting paper towel on top of coloring, pressing for 30-60 sec, repeat with new towel until no wax comes off. It also suggests tracing design on to fabric using a gelly roll pen that is permanet so you will ot have to outline after it is colored. Same method could be use for these shoes!!!!!!!!! Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!
