My Feet Look Like Edward Cullen {DIY: Glitter shoes}

When you hear/read glitter shoes you either think about Dorothy that wants to go home, or strippers.  But glitter shoes are trending this season. Jimmy Choo and {the love of my feet’s life} Christian Louboutin are fans of the glitter shoe too. And anything Mr. Louboutin like, I like!

• What you’ll need:

1. Shoes, duh!
2. Modge Podge
3. Varnish that dries clear
4. Glitter!
5. Ribbon
6. Glue gun

• Step 1: Mix some of the glitter with some of about 4T of modge podge.

I mixed silver and bronze glitter together to create a champagne colour. That’s the beauty of DIY, you get what you want!

 

• Step 2: Paint the modge podge on your shoe in thin layers. I painted 3 layers.

Wait for the layers to dry completely before applying a new layer. Note that the white modge podge dries clear, so the result will be much darker than the application process.

Step 3: When the modge podge is completely dry, varnish the shoes. This keeps the glitter in place and keeps your cupboard from becoming a vampire.

The varnish dries clear. If you chose, you can stop here. These shoes are ready to be worn, baby.

• Final step: Decorate. If you have heels, paint the soles red. Glue ribbon on. Make it pretty the way your heart desires. Me? I like me some ribbon {if you haven’t noticed }

I glued the ribbon with my best friend, Mr. Glue Gun

 

And a masterpiece my feet are so happy when they are dressed beautifully.
