The Shoes have died, Let's dye it! x)

I got this shoes from my roommate Gloria. She has given the shoes to another friend, Nyomi and she seldom wears it so she gave to me. Yes, seems it's hard for him to get the owner. But i was happy to get you, shoes ;) Anyway, i don't really like the color..grey..it's better to be black or white, right? haha So after several months in the closet..i took it out. He must be bored and need a fresh air. I looked at his cool shape annd..decided to dye it. Yes, dyeing shoes would be fun! x)) I would like to color it into a vintage shoes with the mix of light and dark brown. It's gonna be the coolest shoes ever! xD~

Before : Cool shoes, huh?

The work space x)

After: Yeay!

Among all the paints and stuffs 

 After Drying around 2 days

Totally, the coolest ones! *)


Dyeing shoes steps:
1. Prepare the shoes. Ones you wanna change to have better color. Or the old school shoes you wanna use it again.
2. It's better if you wash it first to remove all the dirt.
3. Prepare the work space: cover the floor with newspapers, plastics, etc. Poster color, Oil color or water color to paint the shoes. In this context, i use the painting stuffs to color the shoes. Others, they usually put some liquid chemical to a bucket of water with the shoes inside.
4. Paint your shoes with the colors. You should find the colors you want to put on shoes before you color it. 
5. Wait for thirty minutes after you color a part of shoes. The colors need to be dried first. Then you can continue with the other part.
6. After finish painting, dry the shoes under the sun. Put it outside and let the sun dries the color around a day. It will help to make the colors stay longer. 
7. Voila! It's all yours! ♥



Happy Dyeing ;)
