Make Your Own Tie Dye Sneaker

Thanks to thecraftpatchblog you can turn your plain old sneakers into a colorful and stylish creation. The best news is that its super easy to create, all you need are some sharpies and of course your sneaker of choice, a light color such as grey or white is the most ideal.

You'll need:

  • Plain White Canvas Sneakers
  • Sharpie Markers
  • Medicine Dropper
  • 91% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol

Instructions

Step 1

Before you get started remove the shoe laces, those will remain in their original color and you don't want to get ink on them.

Step 2

Once you've removed the laces use the Sharpies to draw a design of your choice all over the canvas part of your sneakers.

Step 3

Then, fill the medicine dropper with rubbing alcohol and drip it onto the design.

Step 4

This will make the colors spread and run together giving you the tie dye effect! Easy right?
