If you are looking for a unique idea for your character autograph collecting, I have just the thing! Hobby Lobby carries canvas shoes for $9.99. Every week, they release a 40% off coupon which will drop the price of the shoes to $5.99. Pick up a package of Sharpie Stained Fabric Markers and a bar of Beeswax to complete this project.
On your Disney trip, have your favorite characters autograph the shoes with the Sharpie Fabric Markers. Don’t be alarmed if they try to wear the shoes themselves or ask you to explain what shoes are (Tinker Bell).
When you return home, rub the shoes with the beeswax (or paraffin wax) and blow them dry. Repeat this step twice to make sure that the shoes are fully covered and are now waterproof.
You can then wear your shoes proudly to show off your love for Disney.
You can also Have Characters Sign An Autograph Mat.

(A huge thanks to Tanya for sharing this idea and her pictures with all of us!)

These are adorable! I doubt Hobby Lobby would have shoes that fit me but I am going to show this to my 2 daughters to see if they’d like to do this on our next trip.
