Canvas shoes are popular with people all over the world because they are lightweight, durable and affordable. Whether you are traveling or doing sports, a pair of comfortable canvas shoes will be one of the best choices. However, canvas shoes are not waterproof, and it is very troublesome if they get wet when you go out on rainy days. The following Craftwork Network will share with you how to transform traditional canvas shoes and make strong waterproof canvas shoes by yourself.

Required materials:

Beeswax (available in hardware stores), hair dryer, canvas shoes (the author’s are Toms, we can use Huili).

Wear cleaning gloves and smear beeswax on the entire canvas shoe. Use a hair dryer to heat it appropriately to melt the beeswax, so that the beeswax is evenly distributed on the shoes, and the waterproof effect will of course be more obvious. Test the waterproof effect again after 5 minutes!
