WATERPROOF

SHOES

White thin candle

Tools:

Hair dryer

Tooth brush

A pair of shoes

STEPS:

Step one: Get your shoes and simply rub the tapered candle on the outside material so that the wax residue is visible on all areas of the fabric. Don’t worry about the color or consistency—this will melt down in the next step. Use your toothbrush and spread the wax around.

Step two: Grab a hairdryer and center it so that it is blowing hot air directly on the spots that you covered in wax in the previous step. After a bit, you should notice that the wax coat transforms to a clear coat. Those white, crusty areas should have melted right into the material, thus acting as a protective barrier between the liquid and the shoe.
