How to Make Glitter Shoes

Every girl deserves to feel like Cinderella every once in a while. Learn how to make glitter shoes, since every girl now has the chance to feel like a princess. I saw this idea on Martha and I said I had to try it with my daughter. She is out of the cute little girl stage right now. What girl doesn’t like a great looking pair of shoes? Especially shimmery sparkly glitter shoes to wear.

How to Make Glitter Shoes

Materials for Glitter Shoes DIY:

• Mod Podge
• Glitter
• Shoes
• Paint brush

Directions for How to Make Glitter Shoes:

1. You can find some plain, boring, white canvas shoes at Walmart for $5.00. These simple shoes are begging to be updated for this project.

2. Then go to the craft store to buy Mod Podge and Fashion Glitter. The Tulip Fashion Glitter works the best. This should be extra fine glitter so these will coat the shoe nicely.

3. With some masking tape or painters tape, tape the bottom of the sole of the shoe.

4. Mix the Mod Podge and glitter together to create a glitter glue to paint on the shoe. One part glitter to two parts Mod Podge. Surprisingly you don’t really need much. A little goes a long way.

5. Paint the shoe generously with the new glitter glue. Don’t worry if some getting on the grommets or on the tape. If it gets on the grommets just wipe it off, when you are finished with the sparkly coat.

6. Repeat with 3 to 4 coats until the shoe is super sparkling!

7. Remove the tape on the bottom. Yo may find that you have Mod Podged the tape to the shoe and it is not coming off easily. Take a craft knife and score along the edge of the tape and shoe. Then peel the tape off. You may need to use some Goo Gone to get the sticky part of the tape off.

Since, I did the Glitter Letters with little face last week, I needed a glitter project to do with little miss this week. It is really hard to get a great picture of these glitter shoes, since every time you move they shimmer and sparkle. These Glitter shoes are just so cute, Little Miss made a pair to match an orange shirt she had. Orange is her favorite color. Pink is mine! I think I am going to wear my Pink Glitter shoes all month in October to support Breast Cancer Awareness. My sister in law just finished her final round of radiation. May she be cancer FREE!
