Little Pals have put a lot of effort into creating funny wellies, and funky wellies for kids so that they can have footwear they feel happy and comfortable in, as well as something they can be proud of making. Decorated and fun wellies are certainly not just for the children, adults can have just as much fun and enjoyment from decorated and funky wellies that they have done themselves.
Of course, there are no kits for painting wellies for adults, so you need to buy the boots and the paint separately. There have been some truly amazing designs over the years, from the realistic to the fantastical.

Just make sure they are comfortable and reliable wellies that have a good grip and fit comfortably. Everyone needs to feel good and a painted pair of wellies can really make you stand out from the crowd.
They will have you looking amazing on dog walks, or even doing gardening and general work at the yard.

I wasn't even sure if it was more of an army green or a brownish charcoal but I didn't really care. I just wanted my boots to be dark, but not black. Here is what you will need:. Then, cover the "hunter" logo or anything you want to leave the same color with painter's tape. I actually had to cut my tape several times before I got the right size.

If you want to dye your rubber at home, there are a few different methods you can try. One easy way to dye your rubber is using fabric dye. All you need to do is mix some fabric dye into a pot of boiling water, then turn off the heat and soak your object in the mixture for 1 or 2 hours.
For silicone objects, you can also use hair dye. Just mix your dye in a bowl, submerge your item in it, and leave it to soak overnight. For a temporary solution, use acrylic paint. First, apply a sealer, glue, and finish product, like Mod Podge, to help the paint stick.
Then, coat your item with acrylic paint. Even with sealer, your rubber may flake over time and you may need to reapply the paint and sealer.

Wash your object with soap and warm water, scrubbing away any debris as best as you can. Heat enough water for submerging your rubber object. Fill a pot with water and heat it on a low to medium stove setting.
Be careful when handling the hot water to prevent burns or spills. For a more precise measurement, use a water thermometer. Otherwise, wait for the water to start forming bubbles at the bottom of the pot but not yet boil. Add fabric dye to the hot water at the proper ratio. Pour the fabric dye and hot water in a bowl in a ratio determined by the dye packaging.
Mix the fabric dye and water thoroughly until you achieve an even color. Fabric dye can stain bowls and other cooking tools, particularly plastics. To prevent this, use glass or metal cooking tools if possible.
Soak the rubber object for hours.
