Product Information

What shoe you choose to dye is TOTALLY up to you! The one important requirement for anything you’re dyeing (not just shoes) is that it’s a natural fiber: 100% cotton, silk, rayon, and wool are all great options. Acrylic/polyester fabrics won’t work take the dye, however, some blended fabrics containing those fibers may take if the blend is at least 50% cotton. Next, fill your washer and add the dye and the shoes. The dye can go in the detergent spot and start the cycle once that has been done. Now pour in the hot water and this is a 1 to 1 water to dye ratio. Set out all of your supplies so you don't have to search for them while you are in the middle of dying. It can be pretty annoying if you are searching for something you need while your gloved hands are covered in dye. Paint the dark colors first then go to the lightest to have the best effect. When you draw your lines use a pencil but be careful. The lead tends to show through the pink and yellow colors. Some Final Words There are some dyes that need to be used while being heated on a burner. If you are using one of these dyes, and you don't have a portable burner, prepare an area in your kitchen that will be the dying area. Remove all extraneous items that could get dye on them by accident and cover sensitive surfaces with plastic.

Make sure to select a fabric dye specifically formulated for canvas or natural fibers. This will ensure a more even and long-lasting result. 2. Prepare the Canvas This is not that hard to do if you are good at tie-dyeing. You can use the acrylic paint method here as long as you separate the acrylic components and oils from the color. It is easy to brush on the different colors just make sure you have a design pre-drawn on the canvas or use your creativity to make something that looks unique. Once your shoes have completely dried remove the paper towels and run your shoes under warm water to remove any excess dye. Dip damp sneakers lace-side down into dyebath for 2 — 3 minutes, making sure not to get dye on the soles.Not if they’re rubber! Rubber, along with the metal gromets of your sneakers, will resist the dye so they should stay white. For best results, be sure to wipe off the rubber right after dyeing to avoid any possible faint staining. Since canvas is usually made from natural fibers, a good reactive dye made for cotton would be the best choice. The instructions are already included so you know how to proceed. Just make sure your dyeing tools fit the size of the canvas item you are trying to alter the color. Remember that when wet the canvas will look darker than it really is. For both coffee and tea, rinse in cold water when you are finished. Add a little vinegar to that water to set the color and then wash in Woolite, or something similar to rid the canvas of the coffee or tea odor. Once your shoes have dried, it’s essential to take proper care of them to maintain their vibrant color. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight for extended periods and clean them gently with mild soap and water when needed.

Yes, you can dye canvas shoes that already have a pattern on them, but it’s important to consider how the pattern will interact with the dye. If the pattern is very prominent, it may still be visible after dyeing.There is a little more equipment involved with this option and you will need bright acrylic paint colors, several plastic bowls, rubbing alcohol, squeeze and spray bottles, paintbrushes, rubber gloves, a protective tarp, rubber bands, and old clothes.

Step four has you moistening the canvas with the spray bottles. They need to be filled with water.
