DIY ombre shoes

Summer is all about color, and little projects so why not take a pair of white canvas shoes and add some color to them. Since making these shoes myself I wear them all the time.

What you will need:

♡  a bucket
♡  white pair of canvas shoes (I got mine at wall-mart for $8)
♡  gloves
♡  tie dye the color of your choice

Steps

     Start by taking the laces out of your canvas shoes and soaking them in water. Once your shoes are wet, prepare your dye according the directions. I used Fuchsia Rit dye and it was just warm water and salt. Once your dye is prepared, you want to put on your gloves so you do not dye your hands. Then you want to submerge your entire sneaker into the dye and hold them down for a few seconds. Once it is your desired cover then place only half the shoes back into the dye as shown below.

The part of the sneaker that is submerged will be darker then the rest. I left half the sneaker in the dye for about 1 min, just leave them in until you reach your desired color.

The dye will dry darker then it appears. This was the desired color I wanted, then leave them out to dry completely. Here is the finish project.
