H by Halston for Bakers and I became obsessed. They've been out for a while and they didn't have them in my size. I tried them at the store and they looked so good!
So I decided to Google glitter shoes and how to make them and I came across this blog. http://www.adventuresindressmaking.com/2010/01/diy-christian-louboutin-glitter-pumps.html
This talented lady gave me the inspiration to create my own glittery shoes. I'm wearing them to the company Xmas party, I need to see if I'll wear them to my wedding.
This is how I did them.
Went to Joann Fabrics and got some Gloss Mod Podge, multicolor micro glitter & sponges. The smaller Mod Podge will do, I just thought I'd buy the bigger one. It'll come in handy for our DIY wedding!
I had gotten these shoes a few years ago from Ross cause they were 9.99. The brand is Oh deer...
I put plastic bags just like she said, and used a shoe box to contain the glitter. You don't need plastic bags if you're just adding glitter.
Mixed the red, gold, blue, purple, green, silver glitter.
Mixed some of it with the Mod Podge, that was a lot of mixture, I didn't even use a quarter of it. I was putting the mixture and then pouring the mixture over the shoes. The second shoe was easier to make because I left the heel for last, I was using the heel to turn them around.
I have glittery shoes! I skipped the whole spray painting them.
This is why she spray painted them, you can see the black through the glitter. Fortunately I put another coat of mod podge & more glitter the next day and the issue was resolved. I would suggest doing them during the day time when you can clearly see what your doing.
Glitter does get everywhere. But they are so much fun! Took them to my office and all the girls loved them. Can wait to get a mani/pedi and have fun dancing!
Glitter 6.99
Foam Brush .99
16oz Mod Podge 7.99
17.53 w/tax
The shoes are a few years old by now and I've worn them several times, so I'm guessing the 9.99 has depreciated to 0 by now.
