Reasonably Priced

  1. Step 1 1

    First pick out a shoe that you want to glitterize! This is my mom with one of the shoes she chose. Mine were the same, just a size bigger. They can be pretty much any material, but I recommend NOT using patent leather shoes because the glitter won't stick quite as nicely.

  2. Step 2 2

    Measure out the mod podge glue and the glitter. It will be a 1:1 ratio, so you want as much glue as you have glitter. We used 2 oz glue and 2 oz glitter, but then we had TONS of leftovers and had to go on this crazy search to find tons of more things to glitterize haha So I would cut that at least in half, if not more! Also I would recommend using very fine glitter. We did and it came out amazing! But I've seen pics of people who used bigged glitter and it looks kinda chunky:/ Oh! And this is my good friend in this pic, we had a glitterizing party:)

  3. Step 3 3

    Mix your glitter-glue concoction up really really good!

  4. Step 4 4

    Paint your glitter-glue concoction onto your shoes:D They will look much lighter than the color glitter you chose because of the glue, don't worry, if you use mod podge, it WILL dry clear:) This is a pic of me, by the way haha

  5. Step 5 5

    And keep painting layer after layer of the glitter-glue concoction until all of your shoe is covered:)

  6. Step 6 6

    Now is the time if you have a lot of excess glitter-glue concoction to find other things to glitterize. I didn't take a pic, but my mom even glitterized 2 purses and a glasses case haha Then let dry and then LIGHTLY spray with some clear glaze spray. Let dry again:)

  7. Step 7 7

    Then show off your awesome new glitterized shoes!!!!
