Rustoleum is a really good paint. Fabrics have sizing from manufacturing. If you wash the shoes first you will get better penetration. It's the same thing as washing shirts before doing an iron on transfer.

[@ATLJazzy]

It's like washing fabric before making a garment. Washing first removes the fabric finish and allows for shrinking before sewing. I really like how the shoes looked after the whole process!!

[@cpbricef]

TIP: "Glad Press 'n Seal" will do the trick on keeping the paint out of the inside of the shoes. I got a two pack at Sam's Club. It is a type of plastic wrap. I got it from a KZbinr doing hydro dipping and needed to protect some areas and this is what he used (I wish I knew his name so I could give him full credit).

[@marge7882]

Glad to see that this craft is back in style. Love your color choices. Years ago we use to insert plastic bags into the shoes and secure them with tape before we dipped them.

[@thecraftybabe1306]

I didn’t know I needed these but I need hydro dipped shoes.

[@shannonj4415]

Just wanted to thank u for the Christmas card I went totally fan girl win I got it 😆 I can tell u love ur viewers & we love u! Ive learned a ton from watching u ❤️

[@CuriousGoodsJessica]

I love those shoes, the color ripples are so pretty! Thanks for sharing!

[@katemurphy5773]

I love watching you do this! I am going to try a pair soon for me and my granddaughter!!! Thanks for your inspiration! 👟

[@milisaspencer6744]

Wow! Great job those look fabulous!

[@mrsjohnson3012]

Awesome job! Will be doing this with my 13 year old, she's going to love this! Thanks for the video!!

[@denisewright3179]

Love these so much... First pair is still my favorite... Only because it has more purple in them...

[@mik7564]

Thanks for sharing. Cool idea. I'm going to have to try it out.

[@neldablanco1663]

So cool, can't wait to try this!

[@blackangel3375]

Nice work.. So you should use some primer first before deep in ..then try to use a less wider bucket so the paint don’t float away and keep it in place.. also less water just enough for the shoe 👟 to deep in..I wish I could put a picture here but rustolium have a seal spray that works pretty good for after it drys..

[@akebaballard4902]

Great job guys

[@artwithalison]

Totally cool. They look great. 💙💙💙

[@sondramoorman5600]

Less paint if you do both shoes at same time as your container is large enough. Fun doing this years ago. Great job!

[@znycelondon5313]

I love this project. Simply genius 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 New subscriber and off to view your other tutorials. 🌹❤️🌹

[@angellapoff6136]

❤️these are awesome🥰💕 I hope to try this next month👍😎❤️

[@oliviabarajas4815]

I love that it is awesome never knew that you could that with sneakers.WOW! Great job

[@suekleinschmidt5949]

So cool! Great job!

[@Angie_978]

These turned out so pretty.

[@falloutdiva]

Looks amazing

[@ladykay8183]

I was very curious about your video but liked it in the end great job

[@hotsteelersfan]

Shove grocery bags inside the shoe before dipping🙂. They look totally awesome 💕

[@bobbirobinson4084]

So completely cool!

[@thePacadashery]

Love your shoes! Was thinking you could put a balloon inside them to stop the paint, or some plastic mannequin feet from Amazon. Is there a reason why you don't you dip both shoes at the same time, side by side, so they match more? Thanks for the video, looks so fun!

[@MixedMediaGirl]

That's a good idea!

[@spartbytierra580]

I think it would be a little difficult to do both at once because you need at least one free hand remove paint from the shoe area so you can bring it back up in a clear space

[@cindylemoine2960]

I will have to give that a try

[@StillSwirling]

These are awesome!

[@karenpresley7101]

I love the way they look! xxx 💖💖💖

[@Dolphin-cb9sq]

That is soooo cool. Loved the music. Happy New Year.

[@spartbytierra580]

Just as a suggestion use press n seal to seal off the inside of your shoes

[@wendyschlegel5031]

The shoes are awesome!

[@dynnelwatts2320]

Love these

[@dalec2393]

I love this video!

[@humblelovingsouls]

So cool!! Those are the best examples I've seen on youtube :)

[@robinsweet1827]

How COOL!!

[@LauraMe...]

Awesome Possum! These are sooooo awesome! Makes me want to go buy all the stuff and try it...alas...it's winter in Maine and freezing rain out there today... but going to try it this summer for sure! Laura m 🦋

[@sharstoltz7983]

Very cool!

[@SheerStitchery]

These are really cute. Does the spray paint make the fabric stiffer than the original canvas?

[@MixedMediaGirl]

Nope :)

[@daveanything]

these are awesome

[@einzelstein5291]

So pretty and your video is so much better than most of the guys because you pay attention to the details. Thank you!

[@thibodeaux99]

I wonder if washing the shoes first to remove any sizing would help the paint to adhere better? Just a thought.

[@charlottelovell8184]

Love Love Love how they turned out. Quick question why can’t or you don’t use the leftover paint from first dip again? Thank you for the informative video. Going to give it a try with a friend.

[@eric-wl4om]

Those are sweet!!!!

[@mitch5077]

What a nice Auntie you are!. Hope you had a great Christmas!

[@gangstamum]

Could you put a long balloon in the shoe and the inflate the ball on to fill the shoe? Protecting socks from possible paint rub

[@holeyheartedmelissa4503]

I love watching your work! ♥️ Have you ever tried to hydro dip a fabric lampshade? I'm wondering how that would work?

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

Cute!! 💙

[@CindyDeskins]

These look great! I think stuffing the shoes with paper would keep most of the paint out. Ooh! Then open the paper up and see what that looks like 🤔

[@ArtisticallyRandom]

One I am DEF fixin'a try 😁

[@runinsmth]

Ultra cool!!!!!

[@ruthburley7386]

Love your shoes!! Planning on trying it on some old dirty crocs. Wonder how they’ll do. Maybe you’d like to try?? Looks like you spray a LOT of paint. How do you know when it’s enough?

[@seamikki6510]

Any reason why we don't use a smaller container of water so that it doesn't waste so much paint?

[@curvyQT1]

Love the shoes! What are you going to do with the top? I would love to see the a pair with glittered tops!

[@grannysweet]

Dye the laces!! Cute cute. Great project!! Subscribed 😂👍😎🐕🤜🤛👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ggfabris8474]

OMG so very cool

[@tammymurphy1268]

To cool!!!

[@carrieeasley3995]

Cool shoes!

[@tothepoint1401]

Thanks.

[@dalec2393]

Merry Christmas

[@kaatz60]

Could you paint something on top of the dip paint and then scotch guard it?

[@bigizzysworld4253]

Plastic coat paint works the best on leather shoes. Make sure to spray with a white base coat first

[@artifexcolor3884]

Cooool shoes.

[@jenntibbitts]

Do you let the paint dry at all before you dip?

[@pegeen6634]

Hi! You know batik fabrics, ‘they’ use wax! 🤗🤪 Very cool idea! Keep em coming!

[@theketovillagee]

Can you scotchguard the inside of the shoes before dipping?

[@MixedMediaGirl]

That's an idea!

[@sistahcool3533]

Personally, I'm not a fan of the hydro dipped method of anything, but these are very cool for anyone who likes this method.

[@richardc6269]

Cool deal.👍✌

[@michelesimms7948]

How did you dispose of your water and paint mixture?

[@maryclaremayo6157]

I was wondering the same thing. I hope that paint didn't get poured into the sewer system.

[@discobikerAndRosie]

I was told the paint should be oil-based. Your paint reacts a little different from what I've seen. Are you using oil-based paints, or no? I was wondering if it makes a difference! I've been wanting to hydrodip for months! Planning on trying it soon!

[@HisAngel426]

She's using valspar in this video which is a water based paint!

[@SirenaSpades]

You know Scotchguard will wash off... you need to reapply it after washing an item. I've used Scotchguard on all kinds of items from patio furniture (outdoor Scotchguard), to my Airbnb furniture, throw pillows and rugs that I have to spot clean and reapply -- as it will come off after cleaning. Also used it on sewing projects like handbags and totes that I've sewn, etc. But you must reapply! So by tossing these in the washer and being shocked that it came off, I mean, did you read the label??

[@evamooney2953]

Wow Marcus you grew an extra arm (or 2) just to spray paint with! Can you teach us how to do that in your next video?😉😉😉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ArtByJulieE]

About how much spay paint did you go through to do a pair? Super cool look!💖💕

[@MixedMediaGirl]

Hardly any :)

[@nelliemeissinger2340]

Try to semi inflict a balloon,for the inside of the shoe, or those bubble wraps for packaging and tape to the inside. IDK sounds good in my head lol

[@jackwrlarimer]

Do the shoes have to be white?

[@ivettec665]

Tfs

[@abiodunabudu2296]

Does this work with leather shoes

[@naptimecreations]

They turned out awesome, so cool. Maybe put some liquid latex on the inside to keep the paint from getting in there and getting on your socks. 💚💚💚

[@giotaaus9471]

Very nice craft. Did the paint crack when you walked?

[@MixedMediaGirl]

No

[@ohmercy5924]

Love these. Put plastic bags in the shoes when dipping maybe?

[@NatJac-gg3mv]

Will spray paint ruin the washing machine? What about toxicity on the skin. Any carcinogens in the spray paint?

[@monicafredericks4377]

I was wondering about that as well. Cool idea though.

[@AngelDebstar316]

where do you pour that toxic water once you're done?

[@murlyssnippets1964]

Wondering myself. I would use a ventilators' mask as well.

[@larynanntapp6333]

I would go with letting the water evaporate and then pull out the paint...only thing I can think of.

[@robstar5035]

I tried it and the spray paint stuck to the tape, but not the sneaker.

[@milisaspencer6744]

Thank you for the Christmas card!

[@sandraleamelendez9679]

What product did you cover the bottom

[@MixedMediaGirl]

Tape

[@punkcandy07]

Did the acetone work?

[@MixedMediaGirl]

Mostly :) it definitely helped!

[@punkcandy07]

Thanks! I'm going to try this when the oregon rainy season is over and I can work outside again!

[@lhasax682]

How long did the paint last

[@MixedMediaGirl]

It's still on there just fine :)

[@christianscott3983]

I want to do this so bad

[@priscillacartagena2211]

Can this be done with canvas sneakers?

[@MixedMediaGirl]

These are canvas

[@robintatina9819]

Cool! Maybe stuff a pair of old socks with paper and stick inside.

[@lisavalentine492]

Have you tried vaseline to cover the rubber bits?

[@sharonwilson1059]

Why are you didn’t dip both shoes at the same time try that the next time

[@ellonysman]

It’s always the jimi Hendrix look circa 1969....too much paint one spot? Try less and five or six areas in the bucket...kind of looks better with the shoe strings in it

[@byronhaversham6238]

How many cans per shoes?

[@MixedMediaGirl]

like....100th of a can 👍

[@buddhagunz]

Why not try Montana Spray paint or Ironlak a premium paint may be nicer

[@libyaview]

insert a plastic bag, fill with paper, tape the top. Good luck. looking great. good Fun Job.

[@shelley6746]

Cool videos...New Sub 01/17/20 👍🏼🤩😁

[@terrimc6123]

maybe if you blow up a balloon and put in there to block the paint from getting inside.

[@rosehageman8284]

Try fabric paint or markers instead of spray paint

[@dhurt1217]

Fabric paint may work better.
