Glitter Sandals Tutorial

I transformed some black strappy sandals I had in to gold glitter sandals. I saw some people do this online and I thought I'd try it out because it looked pretty simple to do. Here's how you do it.

Supplies:
Mod podge
Glitter (I used gold)
Paint brush
Old shoes
Wax paper or newspaper

Take some old shoes you want to add glitter to. I never wore these strappy sandals and they were kind of plain so I thought I'd try it with them. Lay your shoes on newspaper or wax paper. If your shoes have straps like mine, unbuckle them first. You might want to lay some wax paper on the sole of the shoe (cut to fit the shape) so glue or glitter doesn't stick to the bottom.

Use the paint brush to paint a layer of mod podge on the outside of the shoe. I'd recommend working in small sections. Sprinkle glitter over the mod podge and then shake the excess glitter off on to the wax paper or in to a container. Repeat this step with the other shoe (you can use the excess glitter).You can also separately mix the mod podge with glitter before painting the layer on if you'd rather do it that way.

I missed a few spots the first around so I repeated this step so glitter was on all parts of the shoes I wanted it to be on. Add a final layer of plain mod podge to seal in the glitter.

Wipe off any glitter or glue that got on the bottom or soles of the shoe. Let dry overnight.

I like how my sandals came out. I think they're more unique and fun now and having the glitter makes me excited to wear them.
