I have several shoes that I loved. Sadly, they are no longer 'wearable'. But I hesitated to trash them. At the same time, I blogwalking to Tara's blog. Looks like she has a solution for my problem, makeover the shoes! I looked for other inspirations from other blogs and Youtube then decided to make my shoes shining with glitter. It was kinda funny, I always wanted to do some 'Do-It-Yourself' thing and here is the great chance :)
What you need:
Old flat shoes
Glitter
Fabric glue
Paint brushes
News paper
Tape
What to do:
- Cover some parts of shoe with tape to avoid glitter, if it necessary. I didn't do it though :p
- Using paint brush, apply glue to your shoe
- Sprinkle the glitter and shake to remove the glitter that doesn't stick
- Do it all over again until your shoe covered completely. Then do it to other shoe
- If you missed some spots, don't hesitate to touch it up
- Let it fully dry in few days before wearing it
- The result :)
The result is very good! My mom even asked me if it's a new shoes. I answered proudly, 'Nope. Just glued it with some glitter'. Feels good to makeover shoes that you loved once and loving it ever more ;)
Wow! It looks awesome, and yes, looks like a new shoes :D
