Glitzy Heels

If you're like me and you're obsessed with glitter, you're going to love this tutorial! I wanted to make some Texans heels so I could rock something girly while watching the game. Of course, they don't have to be football heels, but I'll explain how easy, although time consuming, it is to revamp an old pair of shoes or dress up some new ones.

What you need:

 

A Pair of Shoes

The best to use are either canvas shoes like vans/toms, patent leather shoes or the like. Using anything like suede or similar, won't work out too well.

Modge Podge (can be found at craft stores)

Fine Glitter

Paint Brush and/or Sponge brush

 

Make sure the outside of your shoes and the soles are clean. The first step is to decide what design you want on your shoes. Be creative! It can be anything you want. Mark your design on your shoes. I used a permanent marker, which thankfully was covered up by all the glitter!

 

Now for the messy part...get your modge podge and glitter out. Work with small areas at a time and paint on a thin layer of modge podge and dump on the glitter and shake off any excess. I always do this over plates so I can dump the excess glitter back into the containers.  Keep working around your shoes until both are done and let dry.

 

*It's going to be wet for a little while, so switch between shoes to keep from messing up what you just did*

Once your shoes are dry, get your sponge brush and modge podge out and coat the modge podge over all the glitter. The modge podge will act as a sealer so you don't have glitter falling off of your shoes. Let dry overnight. (Coating the glitter with modge podge will make the glitter a little more dull than what it originally looked like but it still comes out great!)

 

If you want the bottom of your heels glittered as well, do the same on the sole. Use a sponge brush or paint brush and coat a thin layer of modge podge all over the sole. Pour on the glitter and shake off the excess. Let dry and then paint modge podge over the glitter on your soles. Let dry at least over night to make sure they're good and dry.

 

Put those awesome shoes on and see how many compliments you get!
