Spider-Man Rain Boot Tutorial

I bought my boys a pair of rain boots that I found for a GREAT deal. They were buy 1 get 1 half off so I literally spent less than $20 for both pairs! However, they weren't anything special, just regular, plain, ole boots. What kid wants plain when there are so many non-boring ones out there?! The problem with those ones, is that you pay A LOT more for them, which I am just not willing to do. So, I came up with my own way to create special, adorable, non-expensive rain boots and I've been asked to share how I did it. I am going to share how I made boots that look like this:

<-----to look like this!

Aren't those just ADORABLE?! And so easy!

Here's what I used:

{Plain, red rain boots}

{Black Puffy Paint}

{White Puffy Paint}

You definitely want to use the Puffy Paint (fabric paint) because it can get wet and won't come off. If you use acrylics on the boots, the paint will crack and rub off when it gets wet. The puffy paint is where it's at with rubber boots!

Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of every single step as I went a long, but I broke it down in steps for you that are easy to follow.

Step 1. Grab a fine Sharpie pen (or a regular pen) and begin marking your lines. It helps if there is a line that already goes straight down the middle like the boots that I used have. I just used that as a guide for where I wanted my eyes and web lines to begin. I added the vertical lines in the front first.

Step 2. Add your eyes, and then finish making the vertical lines all the way around the boot. Then, add lines to connect your web.

Step 3. Paint! Using your black puffy paint, trace the pen marks. I did the top half first so that I could hold the boot still. Fill the eyes in with your white puffy paint.

Step 4. Let dry.

Step 5. When the paint is completely dry (it will take a few hours) outline the eyes with more black paint. Then you're done!

My boy was so happy to wake up from his nap with new Spider-Man boots and I am SO happy I didn't have to break an arm and a leg so he can have adorable boots!

He has jumped in puddles with these, played in the rain, etc. and the paint has held up so far. Soon, I will be doing little cowboy rain boots too! Stay tuned!
