The supplies
Here are what materials you will need for the project
- Canvas shoes
- Rubbing alcohol
- A sponge or cotton pad
- Paints
- Newspaper
- Bowl
The steps
- Make sure the sneakers that you want to makeover are clean enough. If needed first wash them.
- All you need to do is to take any of the paints and start painting stripes. We recommend you first try the paints on a tester fabric so you can see their real shade. Some colors don’t spread at all and others spread into unexpected colors.
- Continue adding nest colors until you create an ombre effect. Try to wait till the previously applied color dries so you don’t get the colors mixed.
- Once you have finished applying all the colors and have the entire area of the sneakers covered well, let them dry.
- After drying, you can finally wear your ombre sneakers.
