ASOS PEPPER Platform Peep Toe Mary Jane Shoes

Topshop AMETHYST Multi Glitter Boots - £70
LOVE THEM! and here is my tutorial which was originally posted here on how to make your own for cheap!
Yesterday I showed you my glitter shoes which I’m totally in love with and promised I’d do a “how to make glitter shoes” guide so here it is!
You will need
- Shoes which need glitter!
- Sandpaper
- Some glitter. I used one pot of 75g glitter
- Super-glue. I used Bostick All Purpose Extra Strong Adhesive which seemed to last really well
- Paintbrushes
- Old Pot
-Tray
- Hairspray
How to
1. Start off with some shoes that you want to glitter-fy. I used these scuffed old Primark peep-toes which were unwearable.


2. I then carefully sanded each one all over to “key” it in as it was patent leather.

you can see it looks rougher
3. Choose your glitter colour. I was stuck between pink and blue so put the question to twitter
Next I made a mixture of glue and glitter in a pot and mixed it up so the glitter was really thick but not too thick as it would clump
4. I then quickly covered the shoes in the glue and glitter mixture until they were completely covered. If using superglue then work super-quick! Then put a thin coat of glue over the top over the paint tray liberally shake glitter over the shoes

5. I put the shoes on a paint tray to dry
6. Finally, when they’re dry (I gave them 24 hours) spray liberally with hairspray all over (but don’t choke yourself!) and wear!
Wow, they look awesome with the glitter on :D Noting that I am completely incapable of walking in heels, I've been eyeing up a pair of red glittery shoes in New Look, because even though I'd probably have to stand on the spot and not move in them, I quite like the idea of pretending to be Dorothy in her ruby red slippers ;P
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a great way of updating a worn pair of shoes in time for Party Season :)
