OMGEE I am so excited about these Arteza 24 Fabric Markers Set<\/a><\/span>! The Arteza Company<\/span><\/a>\u00a0sent me their fabric markers for free and asked me to try them out and give my honest review of what I thought. I am really thrilled with the results I was able to get with them, and I LOVE the new personalized tennis shoes that I made of my Bandito just in time for back to school!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I bought a pair of white canvas tennis shoes from Target for $17 (actually 2 pairs – I’ll explain that in a bit) to use as my “canvas.” And then I set about practicing drawing my sweet little pup. I guessed (correctly) that the marker ink would spread and bleed a bit on the canvas so I knew I wanted to keep the drawings simple and more cartoon-like than realistic. I drew him out 3 times on paper and one time on a scrap of white fabric from one of Mr. CraftyPaws’ old button downs.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I took a deep breath and started drawing out Bandito on the tennis shoes. I used the following Arteza Fabric Markers to draw the puppies and color him up:
\nCoffee (A134); Lemon Yellow (A105); Apricot (A124); Chocolate (A102); Tomato Red (A194); and Black (A104)
\nI also used a Uniball Signo White Gel Pen<\/a><\/span> to add highlight marks to the eyes and noses.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The first puppy drawing went off without a hitch. I was so thrilled! Unfortunately the puppy I drew on the second shoe was way too small to match the first shoe. So I went back to Target and bought a second pair of shoes. I drew the third puppy, and luckily this time it matched the first puppy I drew pretty well. Then I turned back to the second puppy as a reference and drew a matching pup on the fourth shoe. Whew! For a bit of extra fun and interest, I added hearts using more Tomato Red (A194) and dog bones with Black (A104) to the second pair of tennis shoes. I am so tickled about how they came out! I’ve worn both pairs a couple of times, and I’ve gotten several compliments each time. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
