DIY: Add this galaxy pattern to your plain white canvas shoes

Plain white canvas shoes are a must-have for every wardrobe. They go with dresses, denims, pants and even shorts. Not only do they make you feel relaxed and comfortable, they add just the right amount of chic to every outfit. However if you get bored of your white pair of shoes, here’s how you can add some colour and turn them around.

To accomplish this task successfully, you’ll need a tie dye kit, surface cover, fabric paint in blue & white colour, sponge brush, paint brush, gloves and of course your old shoes.

Take a look at the steps:

Put your gloves on and drench your shoes in water.

Pour some pink dye in a plate and using a sponge brush dab the colour on to the shoes leaving some spaces in between. 

Now run your sponge brush under water until it is fully clean and rub the sponge on to the shoes you painted to create a water-colour effect.

Now pour a little bit of blue dye in the same plate and mix it with pink to create a purple dye and dab this colour on to the shoes just like it was done in step 2.

Do the same with the blue fabric paint, on its own and let it sit for 15 minutes to make sure the colours blend properly.

Take some white paint on the paintbrush and randomly draw dots anywhere on the shoes to create a starry look.

You can also enhance the detailing to your galaxy pattern by adding a star.

Let it dry completely and you’re done!
