I love having a ton of sneakers to choose from. They're comfy and if you have the perfect ones, you can even rock them with a dress! And while I love the look of designer sneakers, there's no way I'd ever be willing to pay $650 for a pair.

DIY Dyed Ikat Sneakers Tutorial
If you ask me, chevron is kind of on its way out and ikat is ready to take its place as the "in" pattern. Ikat is popping up in fabric, home decor and clothes but I've yet to see any ikat shoes.

How to make Rainbow Tie Dye Shoes
I've been seeing a lot of super cute tie dye shoes online and on Instagram lately. I knew that I had to make a pair for a special little girl...my niece Ava. She's a spunky little girl with a lot of personality, so I think rainbow tie dye shoes are totally perfect for her. They are not hard at all to make, so let me show you how it's done using Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye!
What you need:
– Pair of white cotton shoes (mine were from Target)
– Spray bottle with water
– Tulip Surface Covers or plastic bags or tablecloths to lay down to do your project on
– Sink, washer, and dryer
First lay out your surface cover and put your shoes on top. Now you'll want to add cold water to your dyes. All you have to do is fill, mix, and shake well!

Next spray the outside of your shoes with a spray bottle of water. I did this so that I wouldn't soak dye into the striped insides of my shoes (I liked the colorful stripe pattern).
I mentally divided my shoes into 5 sections and started dyeing the first toe section with the fuchsia dye.
I added the next layer of dye (orange) right at the point where the fuchsia dye had stopped.
I continued until I filled in all my canvas areas of the shoe. As you can see, I blended the colors in a natural color order so they looked like a rainbow.
As you can see, the dye got onto the rubber sole. It's nothing to worry about, because the sole will soak into the rubber.
Wrap your shoes in a plastic bag and let it sit 6-8 hours to let the dye set! I actually left mine in the bag a whole day. The longer you let your dye set, the more vibrant the colors will be! Of course, don't leave them sitting for more than a day...you don't want any mildew action going on. LOL.
After they have set atleast 6-8 hours, wash them
thoroughly in the sink until all the dye is out and the water runs clear.
Pop these beauties into the washing machine (you can put them with other items you tie dyed as well in like colors) using a little laundry detergent. Dry in the dryer or let air dry.
You may want to do a double wash and dry before you actually wear them. Since your feet can sweat a lot, it may be good to make extra sure you got all the dye out!
And here's how the shoes turned out...

See those little streaks? This is what happens when you don't shake the dye enough. The powder doesn't get mixed all the way. It's no biggie, to me...they add more character to the shoes!
Here's how the backs look...
The top.
And the sides.

Ombre Tie Dye Sneakers DIY
If you haven't already noticed, the latest trend in fashion is ombre dyeing! The slight color shift from light to dark is capturing the eye of fashionistas and home décor enthusiasts alike. We decided to take a step into this trend by dyeing a few pairs of simple white kicks. We love how bright and fun they turned out!
What you need:
– Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye kit in your choice of colors (kits come with gloves, rubber bands, etc. as seen above)– white cotton sneakers
– paintbrush
– sink or bucket for washing
– deep dish bowl for dipping
–paper towel
Wash tennis shoes with laundry soap, either in the washing machine or by hand. Leave damp.
Mix dyes with water according to package instructions. Pour into plastic containers and stir.
While shoes are still damp, dip shoes in dye as desired. Use a paper towel to wipe off excess dye around rubber soles to prevent dye from running down shoes.
Repeat for other end of shoes with a different dye color. As you can see, we are finishing off the blue pair here.
Tip: If dye is too light, use a paintbrush and paint another layer of dye on top. If dye is blotchy, use a paintbrush to lightly brush water over entire shoe.
Set shoes out to dry overnight or for 6-8 hours.
We love how they turned out! They definitely make us want to put a little "spring" in our step!

Easy Tie Dye Shoes for Back to School
Here's a couple tips for using the Tulip One-Step dye on shoes you want to paint with dye!
– Use a foam brush to brush on the dye instead of squeezing it on. This way, you won't get the dye on and inside the entire shoe. You'll just get it in the area you want it to go!
– The dyes will blend and run together, so you probably won't get two exact lookalike shoes. Part of the fun of tie dye is the unique look you get with each project. So don't get too stressed if they don't look 100% exactly alike! They'll still look great and get you a LOT of compliments!
– The rubber will not take the dye, so it will stay white and vibrant
– Make sure to remove your shoelaces before you do this project. You might want to even dye your shoelaces separately to match your shoes.
– When you are done with your shoes, wrap them in plastic, then wait 6-8 hours to wash them. Wash them and dry them seperately from your other clothes!
