Then you can use the acrylic paint method which is a little more involved and will take a little more time. The key to this method is to separate the acrylic components and oils from the color so you do not get a very hard and brittle finish. 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 While it’s typically easier to dye canvas shoes a darker color, it is possible to dye them a lighter shade. Keep in mind that the original color of the shoes will affect the final result, and the dye may appear more vibrant on lighter-colored canvas. This method may be better with non-shoe canvas items than with shoes but here are the steps you need to take. First, wash the shoes to get the dirt and other impurities off of it. Let the shoes air dry but leave damp.

Whether you’re bored with the color of your canvas shoes or you want to breathe new life into an old pair, dyeing them can be a fantastic option. Step one has you pouring out some acrylic paints in different bowls and then adding an equal amount of rubbing alcohol to each color. Step two, mix the two ingredients with a paintbrush and strain the mixture through the strainer. Leave white space between dye applications, especially when using the wet method. The dye will spread over time, so give it some room! You can always apply more dye if, after 10-15 minutes, the white space is still too large for your liking. When working with the dry method you can also achieve a splatter effect by holding your dye bottle 12-15 inches above your shoe with one hand, and tapping the tip of the bottle with the other (gloved!) hand. Once your shoes have completely dried remove the paper towels and run your shoes under warm water to remove any excess dye.Starting with the lightest colour, squirt dye onto sneakers as desired. Keep in mind that colours can overlap to create new hues. With these tips in mind, you’re now equipped to embark on your canvas shoe dyeing adventure. Enjoy the process and let your creativity shine as you transform your old footwear into stylish, personalized masterpieces. 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

We’ve taught quite a few sneaker tie dye private workshops, and here are the questions that usually come up: To create dots: hold your dye bottle above your shoe (4-6 inches) and let 1 drop fall at a time. Give the dye 10-15 seconds to penetrate the surface of your fabric and settle before moving on to the next dot. Move slowly! (Notice a trend here?! 😂) Dyeing can be a messy process, so it’s essential to protect the area where you’ll be working. Cover your workspace with plastic sheets or old newspapers to avoid staining surfaces. 4. Follow the Instructions

Uploading

Wearing rubber gloves, mix 30 mL of desired colour with 0.5 liters of hot water and 12 grams of salt. Pour into squeeze bottle. Repeat for each colour. Read and follow the instructions provided by the dye manufacturer carefully. This includes the recommended dyeing time, water temperature, and any additional steps or precautions. 5. Get Creative A simple and effective way to have more control over applying dye to your wet sneaker is to use a foam paintbrush. Squeeze dye directly onto the foam brush or squeeze a little onto a tray or your plastic-covered work surface and dip your foam brush in to absorb the dye, then gently dab your damp sneakers. You’ll want to use a different brush for each color or simply rinse off the foam before using a new color. The benefit of the foam brush is that you can apply color a lot more intentionally and prevent dye from dripping down where you may not have wanted. While you are waiting for your shoes to dry, rinse your washer out with bleach. Use 1 to 2 cups of bleach and the highest water possible. Dye Canvas Shoes Without Dying Rubber

A reactive dye is the best but there are plenty of dye options available for you to use. Rit dye and some of the other major brands will work well as those companies make their dyes to meet your dyeing needs. After rinsing your shoes, allow them to air dry completely. This ensures that the color sets properly and prevents any bleeding or transfer of the dye onto other surfaces. 7. Maintain Your Newly Dyed Shoes You will need a fabric dye specifically designed for canvas or natural fibers, a large plastic container or stainless steel sink, hot water, gloves, and a stirring utensil. It’s also a good idea to prep your shoes by cleaning them thoroughly and removing any dirt or stains.Then there is the washing machine method for larger items and then finally there is the dye paint method which should work on extra-large canvas tarps, awnings, and so on. The only different dye material you will use may come with that 3rd option. It will be a powder, not a liquid. Dye Canvas With Coffee Then drop the rubbing alcohol on the sharpie colors and let those colors spread. It is that simple and easy to do. If you want the colors to spread more slowly or not as far use a lower percentage of rubbing alcohol. 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. Step four has you moistening the canvas with the spray bottles. They need to be filled with water. Next, use the rubber bands to hold any twists and turns you placed in the canvas, and then use the squeeze bottle to put the paint onto the material
