How do you make permanent marker on canvas shoes PERMANENT??

I drew designs and pictures on my white Vans slip-ons with a Sharpie permanent marker. I'm concerned that they might smudge or get blurry/won't be able to see the original design if they get wet. Is there something you can do to these shoes/apply to the material to make sure that the designs and drawings are permanent?

If the shoes are canvas the marker shouldn't come off...you could test a small area that isn't so noticeable with a small drop of water on part of a line..if it looks like it might smudge take a hair dryer to it than redraw your line a little thicker....what ever you do ...DO NOT SPRAY THEM WITH HAIRSPRAY...hairspray will remove permanent marker off clothing...(used this many times).....





you could also spray your shoes with a workable fixative ..it is used to preserve pencil,pastel,charcoal drawings...you can find the fixative anywhere that sells art supplies and its inexpensive...





I hope I helped...best of luck with your shoes.......

Reply:You can buy Hodge Podge at your local discount retailer Wal----, it will seal in the marker. Let dry for 24 hrs. (cost less than $5)
