man, oh man. this was a phenomenal tutorial! thank you for the obvious effort that went into the creation of this video. this was a masterclass, not just on how to make a stencil, but how to make an effective tutorial that people can easily follow and enjoy.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Thank you Chris, really appreciate the kind words. Couldn’t ask for better feedback on how the message actually came across well!

[@ItIsSimpleton]

Yo. Lots of videos throw around the words “master class” but this is truly a master class video from stencil creation, stencils cutting, layout, painting, what happens after, how to minimize bleed…like everything is in here. Thank you. Phenomenal effort and great job.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Thank you man, that means a lot! Very very glad to hear you say that 🤙🏽

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Glad you enjoyed! For the most part all the programs really do just about the same thing. Sometimes the tools just have different names or are in slightly different locations. For almost any software you can even KZbin something along the lines of "how to do (x tool in photoshop) in gimp"

Ayyyyy the intro worked!! That’s a great start lol, appreciate you tuning in man. Let me know what you think when you get a chance to check out the whole thing

[@dylanjacobson3112]

@@DeJesusCustomFootwear finally got through it all so here we go.. I have been using procreate for my stencil work but it seems photoshops the way to go because of all the extra manipulations and tools it has although their are a good ammount of the same tools to get it done on proC just not as easy.. how to find the right image on Google to use will help in a lot of detailed works in the future.. the registration marks as well as how to size all the sections together is going to save my brain on solving many math problems I've done to get the sizing right for all the sections.. and hopefully my favorite part I just hand painted my first pair of shoes for my son and when I would tape off sections it always peeled up the paint and I did many touch ups and had to stop using it, so hopefully the vinyl heat gun trick saves the paint on the shoes.. my only critique would be as your spraying each layer explaining what your laying down if you took the clips from the sections as you made them individually and showed that before you sprayed it, it could help follow along with the layer your working on.. All in all man, I'm glad your making videos because this was nothing short of a master class and I wish you all the success D!! Deff gonna follow your work 👍

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

@@dylanjacobson3112 thank you very much for the feedback Dylan!

Amazing-detailed video

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Thank you!

[@thecentralscrutinizerr]

You can use a projector to project the logo image onto the shoe and paint it by hand. Also, and this is quite a bit more expensive, if you have a Xtool P2 CO2 laser, you can lightly "burn" the line art of the image onto the shoe and paint it by hand. The Xtool P2 has the ability to burn onto curved surfaces. No need for stencils at all, unless you just want to use them.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Using the stencils speeds up the entire process. Thats why you’re not doing it by hand to trace the image onto the shoes first

If you have spray painted your sneakers with flat white spray paint can you then go back and paint the same shoes with the angelus leather paint after the spray paint has been on the shoes for a long while? I'm also guessing that you will have to use the leather preparer deglaze first.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

To be honest I would never recommend using spray paint so I would strip that off completely and use angelus paint

[@tonyj5273]

@@DeJesusCustomFootwear What can I use to strip the spray paint off the shoes ?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

@@tonyj5273 acetone

[@ballinwithkrista736]

Awesome video dejesus!! how long do you wait to peal the vinyl , I’m still getting a little bit of a problem with the paint chipping ?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Make sure you heat the vinyl as you’re removing it. Surface has to be thoroughly prepped so that the paint will bond, and then anything past 10 mins is plenty of time.. I don’t suspect paint is peeling underneath the vinyl just cause you didn’t wait long enough

[@lj7436]

Would it be fine to fully prep a pair of shoes besides adhesion promoter and wait 1-2 weeks before painting?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Yes no issue

[@THE.T.R.U.T.H]

So lets say you don't have a silhouette printer or photoshop. Could this still be done using procreate to get the layers and a cricut for the stencils? Thank you for making this video. One day ill upgrade to a pc cause it will be easier to follow but for now gotta work with what I have.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Yeah you should be able to do everything with a cricut that can be done on a silhouette. As far as procreate though you will definitly be somewhat more limited just because photoshop is so much more expansive where you can really fine tune things.. the most important thing is just being able to really get specific with your selections so as long as you can start to figure that out in procreate you’ll get the hang of it

[@damien8985]

Hello ! I've been watching your videos for 6 months now, it's been very helpful. I decided to custom my first pair of shoes "entirely", but cracking starts to appear on the toe cap where the shoe bends. Is there a way to prevent that ? Thanks.

[@matthewfortney]

I pretty consistently have an issue of the base layer of paint peeling away with the stencil when I remove it. Will heat setting the vinyl before removal help? Or am I making some other mistake?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

I heat set every single time I remove vinyl. The other things coming to mind are: -potentially not enough prep. Most don’t like sanding but this is why I do it. -thin paint layers with lots of dry time in between

[@matthewfortney]

@@DeJesusCustomFootwear thank you! I don’t typically do any sanding, maybe this is my cue to start!

[@silviorapela5981]

If I wanted to do just a logo or a word (in vinyl) on some new black shoes from the factory. What would sanding and acetone be like just inside the outline of the logo or vinyl? Should I mask and sand with the vinyl or tape on? Thank you

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

I would probably just acetone in that case honestly, you can overprep the area by a little bit and it won’t be very noticeable

[@randyalling6765]
