Denim cutoff shorts are basically a summer essential; take yours from simple to a pair that’ll have everyone starry eyed with Tulip Brush-On Fabric Paints! (These paints are made specifically for fabric, so they’ll dry permanent, flexible and washable.)

If you’re going anywhere but the pool this Fourth of July, you’re definitely going to need a pair of shoes. Use tie dye to make kicks that pop with patriotic flair! Tie Dyeing a pair of shoes is super easy, especially when you’re going for an ombré look like shown here. You can squeeze the dyes onto the shoes directly from the bottles, or pour into plastic cups and brush them on with a paintbrush for a more precise application. Have fun with it and just make sure your shoes are made from canvas (cotton) for best results!
