Dip Dyed High Top Shoes

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• One pair of canvas sneakers
• Rit® dye in green
• Rit® dye in blue
• 12 qt stainless steel pot
• Stainless steel tongs

DIRECTIONS:

1. Remove shoelaces. Place your sneakers in your stainless steel pot and fill it with enough water to cover them by about 2".
2. Let them soak for 20 minutes to open the fibers.
3. Remove the sneakers and add 2 T of aqua Rit® dye to the water. Stir well.
4. Heat on medium for 20 minutes and then add wet sneakers.
5. Heat until they've reached one shade darker than desired color. They will dry lighter. This can happen quickly so keep an eye on them.
6. Remove and rinse excess dye off.

7. Dump your dye pot and wash out excess dye residue. Refill your pot with hot water about 1/4 full and add 1 T of green dye. Stir well.
8. Dip one shoe at a time in the green dye until you've reached desired color. Rinse excess dye from shoes with cold water.
9. Let dry.
