SAW IT. PINNED IT. DID IT: DIY GLITTER SHOES!

Hey hey hey love muffins!

It's our favorite day of the week...

Well, my favorite day of the week.

You know, besides when Friday at 5 hits and I'm mentally checked out for the weekend. Anyone?

Time for Saw It. Pinned It. Did It: Round TRES!

This week, I decided to switch it up and a bit and do a craft that was beauty/fashion related.

ENTER: DIY GLITTER SHOES!

Genius. Genius. Genius. 

When I first saw this on Pinterest (below), I was hesistant for some reason to try it, and now the only regret I have is not doing it sooner. I decided to add some bling bling to a suede pair of black heels, and my favorite pair of ankle boots, both of which cost me less than $30 each. 

If you are concerned about it ruining your favorite pair of Jimmy Choos, then by all means, don't use your Jimmy Choos for this project. Just a simple pair of heels, flats, or booties will work fine and will give them a little bit more pep to their step! 

Here's the original pin:

and here is how I decided to make them:

get your shoes ready and decide which area you want to bling out:

then all you do is simply paint the modge podge mixture with your foam brush onto the shoe.

Easy peasy.

*I found it most beneficial to brush on the mixture, then also at the end take the extra glitter from the tube and pour some on top to make the glitter pop more. Just make sure you have a piece of paper underneath to catch the extra glitter, and it would be wise to do it outside unless you want a hot mess in your house.

Here is what my heels and ankle boots look like after the glue dried

(I let them dry all day and they were dry by night): 

::drull roll please::

then just stand back and admire your new beautified shoes

 that cost less than $5 for a makeover!

I am mildly, okay really, obsessed with my new blinged out ankle boots.

If you decide to pin this product to share with others, I definitely wouldn't hate it.
In fact, I'd really love it. :)

*I do recommend putting a clear coat of gloss or tacky glue over top the glitter to keep it in place. I didn't do this with my ankle boots because the glitter dried really well, but I would recommend this for a pair of heels if you do the soles of the shoe.

So, how'd I do for this shoe makeover?

Thoughts? Questions? 

If you haven't tried this - bust out an old pair of shoes and get to work!
