How To Dye Canvas Sneakers

Start with white canvas sneakers for best dying results and a bottle of fabric dye in your choice of color. Read the label of the fabric dye to see if you may need to add salt.

Use a large bucket and follow the manufacturer’s directions for mixing the fabric dye.

Remove the laces from the sneakers and wet the canvas sneakers with hot water and place them in the bucket of fabric dye and follow the directions for stirring the sneakers in the dye. A long handled wooden spoon or even a clean stick will work for the stirring process.

When the dying time is completed, rinse the canvas sneakers well and air dry.

Immediately clean the bucket and stirring utensil to prevent the fabric dye from staining.
