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!
I did this to my old walking stick last weekend to turn it into a pimp cane for a 70s nite last weekend, it looked amazing! I've got a pair of scuffed ankle boots that are getting done next!

ReplyDeleteGlitter looks fab, can only find small bottles! Where is yours from? I'm in Glasgow x
ReplyDeleteLet the bottle soak for about ten to fifteen minutes, so there is no paper residue and it is easy to remove the labels. The wine bottle will need to sit and dry for about fifteen minutes to ensure it's not slippery when you begin painting. Craft glitter bulk
