Tie Dye Crocs
Learn how to make your own DIY pastel tie dye Crocs. I created this technique based on ways to dye other plastics I've seen. The result is a beautiful pastel dyed effect! Go tie dye crazy!
Remove the straps of the Crocs and wipe everything in acetone to clean any dirt and oils.
Add some shaving cream into a cup and sprinkle in some of one of the dyes and a bit of water to make it easy to mix.
Repeat for all colors.
Put a bunch of shaving cream into a bowl. Then mix in some water a little bit at a time until you get a creamy texture.
Spread it on plastic wrap and add the dye on top.
Swirl the dye.
Place the Crocs face down into the dye and wrap it in the plastic.
Smoosh the shaving cream all around the Croc so that the dye gets everywhere. Repeat with the other shoe and the straps.
Leave everything to set for at least 6 hours, but a full day is best just to make sure.
Then rinse off the dye and shaving cream and they’re ready to wear!

Thanks! I was just wondering.
I have some crocs in white & cream that could do with a touch up They are not new but if I treated them that way they would be nicer looking to wear & I could use colors to match some of my clothes Thank you for a great idea !♥️
