Did you try it with Mod Podge? Did it work out for a more permanent look?

Mmmmm, that sounds interesting, paper!. I think I’ll have to try the shoe, MP, attitude combo. I was thinking that the film might not be porous enough for the MP to soak in as a top layer, but ya never know till ya try!
Thanks for your thoughts. I’ll let you know how I get on too. 🙂 jo

I think Mod Podge may work. I need to try it. I just used Fabric Mod Podge for the first time on a canvas lunch bag, and I attached paper to it and it worked great. I think I would apply the Fabric Mod Podge on the shoe first to prime the surface. Then when that dried, I would apply another layer of Mod Podge on the shoe, place the Craft Attitude down on it, and trim it. Then cover that with the Mod Podge. That’s basically what I did with the canvas bag, and the Mod Podge made the paper look and feel like vinyl. Very cool.

I used an extra strength Elmer’s glue stick, which works really well. That being said, is it permanent? Not really. It was originally meant for kids, who outgrew their shoes, or who could remove the film and decorate them for different occasions. On my shoes, the film tends to separate from the shoe where I crease it repeatedly. So in those areas, it’s not permanent. I do, however, do touch-ups with the glue stick when it does separate. At other places on the shoe where I am not creasing it repeatedly, that film is on there and will not budge. I have peeled off the film on shoes before after not liking the design, and boy, it is surprisingly hard to take off. So I run it under the faucet to help me peel it off, and then I clean off all the residual ink that stayed on the shoe (since it’s inkjet color, it does wash off), and then I have a fresh clean shoe to start all over with. So in that respect it’s not waterproof. But it does take normal wear and tear pretty well. And yes, it goes on any type of shoe (except maybe suede). It actually works even better on vinyl. Something in the vinyl bonds with the film so well. Hope that helps. Happy to answer any other questions.

Ha! Glad you caught that. Thank you for commenting!
