Thank you to Tulip for sponsoring the giveaway for this post!
Hello! I hope your Friday is off to a great start! :) I am so excited because it’s time for another edition of Team Creative Crafts! This month we are all tackling tie dye projects. Tie dying is always on our summer bucket list. So the timing of this post is perfect for us! I can’t wait to try some of these projects this summer with my kiddos! Annnnnd we have a fun giveaway from Tulip! One of YOU will win everything you need to throw your very own tie dye party. So keep reading for tons of ideas, my tutorial on how to make these cute Tie Dye Shoes and to enter that ah-mazing giveaway. Let’s get started! :)
Tulip Dyes are great for projects like these. Their dyes are permanent and color-fast, so they won't fade in the wash! Yay! They are also perfect for multi-color projects (like these shoes!). You just add water for beautiful & bold colors! Your kiddos will love to help out, & they'll enjoy creating their own fashion pieces.
For this project you’ll need a few supplies:
Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit
canvas shoes (I found these at Hobby Lobby.)
paper towels
trash bags
gallon bag
painter’s tape
First you will take out the soles of the shoes, & then set them aside.
Then using the blue painter’s tape ~ I taped around the rubber bottom of the shoe.
Then I put a garbage bag down with some paper towels on top for the shoes to sit on.
This is the perfect OUTSIDE project! ;)
Then I followed the directions on the back of the dye bottle to mix the dye. It was easy! Tip: Make sure you wear the plastic gloves that come in the dye kit. :)
Then I squirted some of the dye on the shoe.
I used my gloved finger to spread it around.
Then I kept adding different colors until the entire shoe was covered.
Then I put my shoes inside a sealed bag. You’ll need to keep them inside the bag for at least 6-8 hours. I ended up leaving it inside there all night. :) The longer you wait the more vibrant your colors will be. Then take them out, & rinse out any excess dye with water. Let dry, and then your shoes are ready to wear. All done! :)
