I love tie dye and I mean love love so when I saw a pair of galaxy shoes all I could think of was ohhh tie dye shoes. When I first started trying to figure out how to make these I quickly realized they were not tie dye but a completely different method. They were actually Sharpie Galaxy shoes. That’s right! They used regular colored sharpie markers and rubbing alcohol. And don’t worry if you get sharpie anywhere you don’t want it here’s a article on how to get sharpie out of almost anything.
These DIY Sharpie Galaxy shoes are so simple to make and can cost less than 30$ depending on what shoes you buy. For me I was pretty excited I already had the shoes, the sharpies, and the alcohol so free to me. If you would like to make a pair let me share how I made my very own DIY Galaxy Glitter shoes
