How to: Make your shoes glittery!

Hey awesome people! We're gonna show you how to make amazing glittery shoes! It's super easy, and fun, and a great thing to do with your friends!

So, what you'll need to do this is glue, and glitter, some sort of tray, a brush, and of corse some shoes.We used two different types of glue, extra tacky glue and acrylic gloss, but you don't need both of them, we just ran out half way through and had to use the gloss.

For glitter any kind should work, but keep in mind that the smaller the glitter, the more smooth it will look on the shoes, and the bigger the glitter the more chunky it will look. You can buy glitter at the dollar store, or Michael's craft store.

 Now it's very important that the shoes you use don't have tons of straps and buckles on them because it will be really hard to cover in glitter, and will look gross and bumpy. 




Pour some glue into your tray, and then slowly add glitter in bit by bit.




It should look like this. Now mix it all up.



So now it will look like this. The next step is to take your brush and start painting it onto the shoes. Don't do really thick layers, it will take longer to dry and look weird. Thinner layers and lots of layers look better.





This is what they should look like after two layers, and don't worry about the glue, it will dry clear. Now all you have to do is wait for them to dry and then do another layer. Continue this until your shoes are totally covered. If you have any areas that have less glitter on them go over with your brush after they have dried to fix it up.




And this is the finished result!


So enjoy your new super-duper cool glittery shoes!
