SHOES. And why not paint the two little signs at same time

a piece of sandpaper is in your kit..you may have to give it a light sanding..remember this isn't high end woodworking..rather primitive but sand to your heart's content

Step 1: paint entire boot brown (photo 1)

*Note: I left the shoes to show you that 1 coat is not enough
let dry and do a 2nd coat..no need to do the sole because it will be painted black

Now that I've given the boots a 2nd coat and let it dry we come to step 2
If you are confident you don't have to tape off the sole, then go for it..
I taped it to show you

Step 2: Sole taped (photo 2)

Step 3: paint sole of shoe, including bottom with black (photo 3)

Step 4: tape ready to be removed (photo 4)

A quick note..at this point the shoes don't look the best right? you are saying 'yuk' am I right?
We will decorate the shoe tomorrow after given a light sanding to edges to make them look used..once they have buttons, highlight and bow they'll be ready for legs..


we will get to that tomorrow night..it's past my bedtime
it's past my bedtime lol
