Materials You’ll Need:
- A pair of shoes ready for a stylish upgrade
- Tulip Slick Dimensional Paint in black and brown – the key to easy leopard spots
Easy Steps to Create Your Own Leopard Print Shoes:
Step 1: Begin by using the brown Tulip paint to create freeform “splotches” across the surface of your shoe. Vary the shapes and sizes of these spots for a more natural animal print look, extending them down to the shoe’s base.
Step 2: While the brown paint is still wet, take the black Tulip paint and partially outline the brown shapes you’ve just created. The trick to a realistic leopard print is not to fully trace each shape; instead, add random, partial outlines to mimic the natural pattern.

Repeat these steps on the second shoe. Once both shoes are painted, allow them to dry completely overnight. This drying time ensures the paint sets properly, making your leopard print shoes ready to wear.
That’s all there is to it! These DIY leopard print shoes are genuinely one of the easiest and most impactful ways to transform a pair of shoes. Now that you know how simple it is to paint leopard print, you might find yourself wanting to add this chic pattern to everything!
