Finally....Sparkly Shoes

It has taken me a while to write the blog on sparkly shoes, but you know...shit happens.

I wanted to make sparkly shoes rather than just buying my own, its a bit more fun being able to say "I made these", not "they are from New Look". I started off with a pair of black pumps from Primark:

And used the glue and glitter I had previously bought for other projects.

I decided to use gold glitter, which would match the bow on the shoes already, which I was planning to take off. I used the tacky glue, as I could apply it thickly and layer it. I thought about using the jewelry glue as it would be stronger, but I wasn't sure if the material of the shoes would go against that....anyway.

I then penciled an outline of the area I wanted to cover with glitter, and smothered it in glue:

I then coated it with gold glitter. I applied way too much just to ensure that every area would be covered.

For quite a while the glue stayed soft, and when i accidentally knocked it, it would smudge. Once the glue dried and I was able to wipe off the excess glitter.

I covered the glittered area in really strong hairspray, as it should cling all the glitter which might be lose to the shoe and bit more to the glue.
