How to make
You will also need:
* White canvas shoes
* Cooling rack
* Ice
* Plastic tub
Use masking tape to tape around soles of shoes to prevent dye from staining them. No need to pre-soak the shoes; you can leave them dry for this technique.
Place a cooling wire rack over the top of a plastic bin (the bin will collect the runoff from ice and dyes as the ice melts). Place the prepped shoes on top of the rack.
Pile ice over the shoes, making sure you cover as much of the shoes as possible with ice.
Select desired dye colours and sprinkle the dry dye powders over the top of the ice according to your liking. There's no need to add water to the dye bottles to mix before pouring over the ice.
Continue sprinkling dye powders over the others, any way you like. As the ice melts, it'll transfer the dyes to the shoes.
Allow the ice to melt overnight.
Once the ice has melted, leave the shoes to dry, then remove the maksing tape.
