What paint can I use on canvas shoes?

I'm a pretty good artist and I want to design a shoe on the slip-on canvas shoes. But I don't want the paint to wash it in the washing wachine. Please help me.

What paint can I use on canvas shoes?
Use acrylic. Wash the shoes first to get off anything that would resist the paint. You don't have to bother drying them if you don't want to, but you will get a different effect if you do. For a richer look, instead of using water to thin the paint use medium. It comes in matte and gloss. You can of course apply the paint as it comes from the tube without diluting it.





Once your shoes are dry they should clean-up with a wet cloth. If you do put them in the washing machine use cold water and DON'T put them in the dryer.





It is a great idea.
Reply:acrylics may be ok, though be careful washing, suggest washing manually, and air/ sun dry,

there are also fabric paints, paint pens. india ink. permanent marker. ...
Reply:I use acrylic paint because it dries fast as you may already knew. However, I do not recommend washing machine unless you want it to be faded quickly. You can also use inexpensive Plaid acrylic paint for experimenting, this one has fabric solution to mix with paint which is suitable for fabric also.





Have fun!
Reply:I learnt to make shoes from a real cobbler last year, you can buy special shoe paints in various colours from a shoe repair store.
Reply:I'd use fabric dye. You cant paint opaqly, but you can be reasonably sure you wont ruin things if you stick it in the wash. (so long as you follow directions of course.)





Acrylics are waterproof though, I think the worst that can happen is they's get chipped and flake off.
