No, not Converse for toddlers, I'm thinking about getting some of those cheap brandless Converse Allstars and customising them to match my customised Mini Guitar

I'm going to stick with the Converse All-Star theme except replace the logos with Mini Emblems/badges.

What this entails basically is dying most of the white cloth a dark blue, then peeling off the red rubber strip and replacing it with the blue rubber strip I have spare from an old pair of shoes, then using transfer paper to iron on the Mini emlbem, and finally putting the mini bonnet badge on the bottom at the back, which I'm unsure how to approach - i was thinking stealing the school's laser cutter to produce a plastic stencil and then using black spray paint, but if anyone has any other suggestions I'll gladly listen!

Anyway I've mocked up what I reckon they should look like, and also posted a picture of the Mini guitar for reference (Yes I know it's a BMW badge, I was going to use a classic mini bonnet badge but felt guilty as I could have been denying some classic mini somewhere it's identity! )



Any thoughts or comments welcome

Haha I'll have to start taking orders!

I'm a little busy to be starting this project but had the idea in my head for a while, finally got around to making some designs and thought I'd post them to see if anyone has any recommendations before I go ahead and make them!

I would love a pair of these in red to match my Mini. If you do have a crack at making these tell me how they turn out.

These look AWESOME!!

If you do go into business id LOVE a black or red pair (or both )

by the way, constructive criticism, i personally would just stick with a normal cooper logo on the side rather than having it say mini cooper, but thats just me
