You will need to purchase a pair of plain white sneakers in advance for this craft. You will also need a tiny paint brush and black puff paint as well.
To prevent the paint from seeping inside the white sneaker while painting it, you may need to first brush a coat of liquid Gesso on the outside canvas parts of the shoes.
Then, simply draw your saddle shoe design on the dried canvas prior to painting with black puff paints. I also added a 'stitching detail' across the toes of the shoes. Let the paint dry thoroughly before putting the shoes on a doll.

| The hand-painted Saddle shoe design from different angles. |
"The saddle shoe, also known as "saddle oxford", is a low-heeled casual shoe, characterized by a plain toe and saddle-shaped decorative panel placed mid foot. Saddle shoes are typically constructed of leather and are most frequently white with a black or dark blue saddle, although any color combination is possible.
Saddle shoes are worn by both men and women in a variety of styles ranging from golf cleats to school uniform shoes. They have a reputation as the typical shoes of school-girls, especially in the 1940s." Wikipedia
