It’s time to dye some shoes.
A week or two ago, my little sister asked me if I could dye her shoes black because she didn’t like the blue and red plaid. I finally decided to do it and share the process with you guys. This is my first time dying shoes, so I might have done some things strangely, so if there’s any way I can improve, please let me know!
What I used: shoes, dye, a container, gloves, cotton balls(not pictured)
You need rubber gloves unless you want colored hands for a while.. I got a dye concentrate, so I just poured a little into the container and got going.
Here I am, about to start the dying process.
Oh yeah, here we go.
Pretty much done! And this is why you need gloves
Ta da! A pair of black shoes.
Thanks go to my older sister who dyed the left shoe as I dyed the right.
Again, I’d like to apologize for my absence lately.. End of school and whatnot has calmed down, so I should be able to start posting regularly again.

thats so cool, but did you wash the shoes after, just wondering. i’m going to try this.
I didn’t wash them afterwards.. but I don’t know if you should or not. She hasn’t worn them yet, so we don’t know how they fare when they’re out and about yet. You might have to wash it afterwards, but you might not.. I’m not sure.. sorry!
