Step 1
Make two rough semicircles from the cardboard to place inside the toes of your shoes. This gives a firmer base to print onto. Also stick some tape around the rubber edge and remove any shoe laces.
Step 2
Choose a variety of buttons in different shapes and sizes. The buttons that work best are ones that have a very flat side and no indentations or ridges. If they are shiny, give them a light rub with sandpaper on the flat side to help the ink adhere better. Mix up a gray ink on the glass plate and roll it out to a fine consistency. The best way to get firm and even pressure on the button is to stick it directly to your index finger using double-sided tape.
Step 3
Roll out some orange ink and print a few buttons to add color. Leave to dry overnight.
