I bought them in local discount craft store 25 cents each. They are 3" long.
I've used Spray Paint by Krylon in Red Pepper Color. I didn't do any prep work - no sanding, no primer, nothing. It worked well...

I covered the outside of the shoe with Martha Stewart Glittering Glue (leftover from X-mas crafts). Note: The glue is great, the applicator that comes with it awful - I am always using my own brush - it will save you your time and product.

Now, you are ready to follow the Yellow Brick Road.
