There are many ways to tie sneakers, as can be seen on the blog. We can lace up in the ladder or make crossed laces, straight, twisted, discreet, extravagant and many more.

I have always dreamed of lacing tennis with laces in weaving. It’s time to start!

8. All in gradient

Use dye and dye with gradations; It’s pretty and fresh. In addition to dyeing, you will need petroleum jelly, baking soda and an old toothbrush.

This kind of dyeing is done in several steps to obtain the desired gradient. Vaseline is used to protect the sole (and sodium bicarbonate to remove petroleum jelly once the dye is fixed).

9. Stripes

With textile paint, we can paint stripes as made on hand. It’s quite simple. We put masking tape parallel and painted (after removing the laces!).

Also, protect the soles with the masking tape, so you do not paint on them. The result is exceptional!

10. And for the winter, fur

Let’s not forget the winter sneakers! To give them a cosy look, nothing beats faux fur. Sew a strip of faux fur on the top of your high converses!

11. Other tips

Making freehand drawings is one of the most creative ways to give an extra touch to your Converse. This type of decoration is particularly suitable for the utterly white model.

To do this, make sure you have markers ideal for decoration on fabric and proceed with the creation of any flourish or geometric figure that reflects your style.

If you want to customize in this way also the coloured Converse, you can always design and decorate the white tip of the shoe.

Those who are not very familiar with the design can opt for the application of small studs or beads on the sides of the Converse.

Place the stud on the outer surface of the canvas, press firmly and fix it by applying the respective screw to the inside of the shoe.
