Grab a pair of plain white sneakers and I’ll show you how to take them to the next level.

Tools and materials:

  • Sneakers
  • Napkins
  • Mod Podge
  • Paintbrush
  • Scissors
Separating napkins

1. Separate napkins

Start by separating the two layers of the napkin.

3. Stick napkins to shoes

Next, take the top patterned layer of the napkin and stick it to your shoes.

Tearing napkin

4. Tear napkin

Gently tear the excess napkin away from the sneakers so that they neatly fit the shape of the sneakers.

5. Cut away excess

Proceed to cut away the napkin from on top of your laces.

Use napkins and Walmart sneakers for this brilliant idea

Here are the finished decorated sneakers. I went for napkins with a Halloween print on them, but you can opt for whatever design you want to fit any occasion.


The Mod Podge makes the napkins apply beautifully and gives them a really professional-looking finish.
