More Rainy Day Fun

Since it rained all day Saturday, Ron wanted to spend the day in his shop, and Tyler slept most of the day because he wasn't feeling well, Danielle and I decided to work on a project she found on Pinterest. She made tie-dyed canvas shoes.

They turned out even better than we hoped and they were extremely easy, just time consuming.  Since they were so time consuming, we worked on them in two different sittings (before the park and after the park), which explains the wardrobe changes. Danielle made the shoes. I did the shoelaces and took pictures.


To do this project, you need canvas shoes, sharpie markers, rubbing alcohol, and a straw or eye dropper

Use the markers to decorate the shoes.
Be careful not to put complimentary colors next to each other or they will blend together and create brown when the alcohol is added.





Use the straw or eye dropper to drop alcohol onto the shoe. This will cause the colors to bleed together.

Let it dry

The finished product. Aren't they adorable?!!


 
The sun came out on Sunday, making it perfect for sundresses and adorable tie-dyed canvas shoes!
