Customizing Shoes with Iron-on Transfer Paper

[noXmoreXsmile]

Hey! Just wanna say you did a really good job with this project of yours. Btw, do you think this method will work on plastic surfaces? [:

[xXJohnnycakeXx]

@noXmoreXsmile Thank you!

&&I'm not sure if it would work or not- but I'm going to say most likely not. Plastic is a less porous surface then canvas, so the transfer might not be able to grip onto the surface. Also, there are issues with exposing the plastic to heat- it might damage it or some funky chemical changes might happen o.o That's just my guess though, I can't say for sure xD

[noXmoreXsmile]

@xXJohnnycakeXx Haha I see. Do you have any recommendation for printing on plastic surfaces then?

[siriuslyconfused1]

Could you please tell me what material the shoes were made of?

[xXJohnnycakeXx]

@siriuslyconfused1 Canvas! :)

Tanks a ton for the great video. I just started custom sneaks, and this is a lot easier than actually painting. :D

So, if I were to print on the toes of the shoes, would it crackle the design?

[chivemonkey1]

good idea gonna try tha

[enterroom21]

Those are nice. I make custom shoes also, but I use fabric markers. I was thinking of using iron on but wasn't sure how durable it would be on a shoe. Now that it's been quite a bit of time later, are they still holding up?

[xXJohnnycakeXx]

@enterroom21 Thanks! They're not doing too well around the places that have to handle more stress, but otherwise, they're doing fine : ) (p.s. I just realized how late this response is D:)

[enterroom21]

@xXJohnnycakeXx Better late than never! Thanks for replying, I tried it myself on a pair of Super Mario customs. Since they were small, they have done pretty well. Thanks for the great idea! I'd link you to a pic of my shoes, but it won't let me. :/

I am an Artist, what I see here is a future Artist for clothing ! very beautiful skills.

[jugghead2009]

what materials will that work on leather sneaker like "Uptowns"?

[jugghead2009]

what type of trasnfer paper do you use?

[xXJohnnycakeXx]

The type that people use for dar materials~

You'd have to print it out on the paper without flipping the image, cut it out, and peel off the paper underneath it.

[FlyerThanAverage10]

Very creative! Does transfer hold when you walk in them?

[xXJohnnycakeXx]

Thanks!

And yes they do :D

[MoonlitTiger]

Uwa! So nice, Phuu! I have iron on transfers too but I don't know how to do it for shoes. . . >A> -handicapped- -doesn't know how to iron shoes orz-- Those turned out really well!

[xXJohnnycakeXx]

This was my first time attempting this - I wasn't even sure if it was going to work, LOL
