How-To: Custom Halloween Shoes AngryRedhead has a brilliant project over on Instructables: shoes, spraypaint, and Sugru make some devilish custom shoes! This Instructable shows how to make a pair of stylized shoes using Sugru and spray paint and how to add treads to shoes that are a bit slippery.

Give yourself at least 2 weeks to decorate these shoes. Each step is short, but there's a lot of time for curing necessary. Don't skimp on the cure time!Inspired to craft something for Halloween?
