For all the holiday parties, I really wanted some glitter shoes. I had seen tons of tutorials and ideas on pinterest. I have probably about 23 pairs of black shoes in my closet and I only wear about 3 of them so I thought I would take 1 of the pair and "glitter" them. At first I wanted silver. I love the bold look but at the last minute I always chicken out. So I decided on black glitter shoes.
I followed the tutorial from Not Martha
I took some 5 year old Target shoes out of my closet and made the taped them up real good.
I made the mod podge/glittler mix and went to work.
What do you think? I like them and they are still really comfortable. Not like the time that I mod podged fabric on my shoes and they wouldn't even bend.
If I were to do it again (and I just might), I would just put the glue and then sprinkle on the glitter and repeat that process. I think it would have covered quicker and thicker.
GOSH.... thats very brave!! But the effect.. stunning!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! These would be such a great addition to jazz up a boring outfit! I'd be absolutely delighted if you'd come and share this (and any other posts you'd like to show off) at the Head to Head Showdown link party. It's going on right now at www.icantstopcrafting.blogspot.com I hope to see you there! ~Jen
