Waterproof canvas shoes

April showers bring May flowers—but your canvas sneakers aren’t built for the downpour! To rainproof them, rub a white tea light candle over the fabric part of the shoes, then use a blowdryer set on high to melt the wax. Let dry. The clear wax creates an invisible barrier to waterproof your kicks.
