I sadly forgot to take a before picture of my shoes because I just got too excited and went right for it. But they were just plain black shoes with a little black bow on the toe.
Now you can follow the directions on the original site here or just stay here and listen to my instructions. Either way its so easy ' a Cave man could do it'.
Supplies
Mod podge (this can be picked up at a local craft store or even Walmart. Its a little more expensive but its well worth it since you can use it for so many different projects)
Flats. Any color. Doesnt matter, the glitter will cover up everything you want it to.
Glitter
Spray Adhesive/ glue
Sponge brush or paint brush
Plastic or paper plate
Something to lay down while doing your project so not to get anything on your work station (new paper, plastic bag)
First pour some Mod Podge on your plate and mix with glitter. Use a lot of glitter, dont be stingy
Next start painting your shoes. I held the inside of it so not to mess up the painted parts. Coat it all on and let it dry. She said it took about 25 minutes for hers to dry, but mine took a lot longer and I never even let it fully dry in some spots before I started on another coat. So just let it sit and check back on it from time to time until you think you wanna coat again.
Now at this point, its looking pretty ugly. But dont fear! The mod podge will dry clear.
I did about 4 coats. Making sure all the black was covered up.
Once your last coat drys spray on your glue to secure it in and let that dry
And there you go! New and improved glitterific flats! Perfect for snazzying up any occasion.
I think these flats I will use for Christmas time and New years. But I will be making some more soon in different colors.
If you have any questions or just want to show off your work just give me a comment. I will be happy to help and see your finished worked! :)
My photos are not the best but they are a lot sparklier in person. Trust me :)
