How to Customize Vans Sneakers

While Vans are available in a huge range of colours and designs, sometimes you want to stand out even more! It’s easy to customize Vans sneakers using stuff you have around the house. If you’ve ever wanted to make your Vans sneakers more uniuqe, read on!
* First, start with light coloured Vans sneakers. Remember to take the laces out of the shoes.
* Get all your materials ready. Having everything nearby will save you from running around.
* Warm up some water in a pan. Have a bucket handy if you are planning on dying your Vans sneakers.
* Read the dye instructions and mix properly in the bucket with water.
* Place your Vans sneakers in the bucket of water with the dye. Let them sit for 20-30 minutes.
* Once the shoes are dyed, place them on an old towel. Let them air dry or use a blow dryer to speed up the process. If they dye isn’t dark enough, repeat the process.
Once your Vans sneakers have dryed, you can continue to customize them using fabric paints.
