# DIY Celestial Sneakers These Tie-Dye Sneakers are Stylishly Intergalactic By M | Published 2014-04-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiedye References: [brit.co](http://www.brit.co/galaxy-prints/) & [swellmayde](http://www.swellmayde.com/2012/05/diy-tie-dye-galaxy-shoe.html) These galaxy-inspired, [tie-dye shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-hightop-sneakers) are a super fun DIY that you can do at home for a fraction of the cost. The making of these celestial sneakers was influenced by the popular [galaxy space-age craze](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmic-runner) floating around the fashion world these last few months. To make these DIY sneakers, all you need is pair of white canvas shoes and a tie-dye kit. Pick colors that remind you of stars and space like pinks, purples and blues, and blend them into the shoe canvas. Then, use a white fabric paint and draw on tiny dots and star-shaped formations to create the nebulae. Another great idea is to also tie-dye the laces to match your new galaxy-inspired kicks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Galaxy-inspired Fashion:** Creating fashion items inspired by the galaxy theme. - **DIY Fashion:** Encouraging people to create their own fashion items instead of buying pre-made ones. - **Tie-dye Techniques:** Using tie-dye techniques to create unique fashion items. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can take advantage of this trend by offering DIY kits and workshops that teach tie-dye techniques. - **Art Supplies:** Art supply companies can target creative individuals by offering tie-dye kits and fabric paints. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce retailers can offer a wider range of tie-dye fashion items and related accessories for consumers to DIY at home, opening up a new market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artistic Naturally Dyed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3sixteen-x-saucony-peregrine-15-gesso.md) - [Cosmic-Inspired Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmic-runner.md) - [Maximalist Pop Art Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami.md) - [Vibrant Hand-Stitched Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kuon-and-sashiko-gals.md) - [Customizable Shoe Decorating Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/style-your-toe.md) - [Makeup Artist-Crafted Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn-silhouette.md) - [Indigo-Dyed Exclusive Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelquantum-kinetic.md) - [Hand-Stitched Artisanal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sashiko-gals-1.md) - [Sashiko Stitched Intricate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sashiko-gals.md)
