The only supplies you need are modpodge, glitter, ribbon for laces (if you use tie shoes), a paintbrush (I used a foam one) and shoes! I got my shoes at the thrift store for a cool 4 bucks. I got the glitter and ribbon for the laces at Joann. Oh, I also used a plastic cup to stir my glitter in. Just in case you don't have those floating around, add it to your shopping list. I added way more glitter after I started painting because it wasn't giving the coverage that I wanted. You can see what I mean in the second picture. Once the glitter to glue ratio was right, I let them dry! That was it. I made the mistake of doing the tongue at the same time because when I was trying to tie the laces, the sides were stuck to the tongue and it pulled a whole chunk of my glitter off. I probably won't redo it though cause I'm lazy :) Be careful of it getting to globby though. I have a couple of spots that it looks a bit chunky and it bugs me. If you have more questions, let me know!

Do you see the potential?

Too much glue, not enough glitter


Done! Not perfect but I think they're cute!
Not bad! I have some Mod Podge from a brief stint in decoupage, might have to give this a try!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to try this for quite awhile! How well did the glitter stay on? My biggest fear is losing a ton of glitter once I wear them out!
