Supplies Needed:
1. Rit Dye
2. 14 L Container
3. Tongs
4. 1 TBSP Salt
5. 1 TBSP Dish Soap
6. Acetone to remove protective layer
7. Boiling Water
8. Time (stopwatch lol)
How To:
-Firstly, start the boiling water process, boil just enough to fill close to the top of the container or where sneakers can be completely submerged. I say to do this first because it takes a while to boil a lot a water.
-Next, prep the sneakers. Remove the insoles. And if the shoes are newer, i would use acetone and lightly rub all over the sneakers.
-Now pour the boiling water carefully into the container and add the salt and dish soap.
-Next mix in half to the full bottle of dye depending on how harsh you want the color.
-Dip the sneakers in and use tongs and watch the change beautiful colors.
I would say anywhere from 5-10 minutes will usually be enough.
-Remove the sneakers and rinse them until the water runs clear! (IMPORTANT)
-Now allow the sneakers to completely dry and don't wear them or put them through any stress for about 1 full day, maybe even 2. I let my pair Sun dry.
And now you can enjoy your final custom!
