R-JENERATION: Add some sparkle to those beat-up pumps
April 29, 2012 - 1:04 am
Want shoes that would make even Cinderella jealous but don't want to pay the price? Here's how to do it yourself.
The materials are simple:
1. An old pair of heels that need a face-lift
2. Mod Podge Glitter ($6.99/8 ounces)
3. Mod Podge Matte ($3.49/4 ounces)
4. Powder sparkles, any color ($3.49/0.67 ounces)
Project time: Two hours
Step 1: Use the Mod Podge Glitter to create a base, applying an even and light layer along the platform and heel of the shoe.
Step 2: Once that has dried a bit, add a layer of Mod Podge Matte. While the Modge Podge Matte is still wet, sprinkle a layer of the sparkles onto the area.
Helpful hint: Do this over a plastic bag for easy cleanup.
Step 3: Repeat steps 1 and 2. Let dry.
Step 4: Do this same process to the body of the shoe. Make sure to use even layers.
Helpful hint: Do one side of the shoe at a time. This will make it easier to hold while working.
Pair these with jeans for a sassy girls-night-out look or with a dress for a breathtaking date look.
