Look at me go!

Start off with:


One pair of hideous shoes. (I did not buy these.)


$12.00 I found in my winter coat.

And you get:


How cute are these?

Now I will show you how.


Cut extra pieces off with an exact-o-knife.




 Buy glitter. $7.99 at Roberts (they are going out of business - Hobby Lobby works, too) + 40% off coupon available at register = $5.82


Mix mod podge (I already had)


with the glitter


and begin painting. I will look hideous at first. Don't worry, the mod podge dries clear. 


I did 4 coats. I used more glitter mixed in the mod podge on the last 3 coats. I was conservative and nervous with my first mixture. You will figure out what ratio to use.
Tip #1: use LOTS of glitter. More than you think.


Ta Da! Beautiful!

Tip #2: use a shoe with a rough-type of outer material. If you have a pair that are slicky, take a little sand paper to them. Mine have began pealing a little.
