I’ve seen so many tutorials for glitter flats and other glitter shoes and I wanted to try it myself. I think they turned out pretty well! I typically do not wear shoes like this so it will be interesting for others to watch me walk in them…
Things you will need:
Shoes
Glitter
Paint brush
Newspaper
disposable bowl
Mod Podge or other glue
Step 1:
Lay down some Newspaper and mix about 1/4 cup Mod Podge with a cup of glitter into a disposable bowl. I did not measure but I guestimated.
Step 2:
Start by painting half of the shoe with your glue mixture. Make sure to keep your lines clean or you will be having a hard time cleaning it up later.
Step 3:
Sprinkle some glitter over top of the painted-on glue mixture. Make sure you keep the shoe over top of the newspaper.
Step 4:
It gets quite messy. Use your fingers to tap the glitter into the glue. Don’t press to hard.
It is soooo glittery!
This is the final product, for me at least. I originally decided not to put a sealant over top of the glitter but after wearing them for a short while there was a ton of glitter on the floor. I plan to get a sealant to put over top of the glitter to preserve the appearance. I recommend you do the same if you try to make your own. Let me know if you come up with a good technique. 🙂
Neat idea. They look good but I wouldn’t wear them.
Never thought of gluing glitter to shoes. Cool idea.
