Shoe Dye Question

[Dancebug]

Sorry that I am bringing up this question again. Hope someone can help me or dig up an old thread.

I need to dye my white court satin shoes with flesh color. I am looking for the most common flesh color. What kind of color and which brand works the best? Obvioulsy it is going to be my first shoe dye experience, so I need something really easy and simple to use. It would be great if it is something I can get at Jo-Ann fabric or Michael's.

Thank you.

Thank you, Laura.

Who here has an experience with tea bag method? Were you successful?

Raspberry tea works very well.

I have used both tea bags and coffee. Tea gives a more natural colour. Just soak a couple of tea bags in a small amount of water. Test on a piece of spare fabric first to make sure the colour is good. and then I usually just use a cotton ball or a foam craft brush and coat the shoes. They may need more than one coat. - mummsie
