How to Make Galaxy Tie Dye Shoes
The first thing you’ll want to do is remove the laces.
Next, you’ll want to tape off the area of the shoes that you don’t want to get marker on. You can also be careful or help your littles ones draw around the sole to avoid marking them.
Start coloring the canvas shoes with permanent markers. Use shades of blue, pinks, purples, greens and black. Have fun! You seriously cannot make a mistake. Be sure to switch up the colors you use and even keep a little bit of space white.
Once you are satisfied with how the marker looks, the next step could not be any easier!
Take the shoes outside and coat them with rubbing alcohol. You will instantly start to see the colors bleeding together to create a watercolor look. Allow the rubbing alcohol to dry completely. (preferably for 24 hours)
Use paint to create some white area. Add some large stars with your paintbrush. Coat your paintbrush with quite a bit of white paint and use your finger to flick white paint across the shoes. This creates very tiny stars and lines throughout the galaxy! Allow the paint to dry completely.
Time to put the shoelaces back in! You can see that I have died the laces a pale purple. I scribbled on them with a purple permanent marker and added a good amount of alcohol to them and placed them in a bowl. You can also do this with hassle-free no tie shoelaces or any kinds of shoelaces for as long you genuinely following the instructions.
Once the color was nice, I removed them and let them dry completely.
Remove any tape and get ready to have galaxy shoes that are way too cool for school! 😉
