This is a cheaper and alternative glitter shoe compared to the pricey brand names at the mall! This is my first tutorial/DIY video so sorry if I'm being awkward!

Materials:
- glitter (any color)
- shoes (any old or new pair of shoes you want to glitterfy!)
- permanent fabric glue
- sponge tip paintbrush
- hairspray or spray-on-glue

Instructions:
1) Make a pasty medium with a squirt of glue and glitter. Also, put a napkin in your shoe so that the glitter won't go in it.
2) In small sections, use the sponge tip paintbrush to smoothly and evenly spread the glitter paste onto the shoe.
3) Put glitter on the shoe while the glue is still wet.
4) Using your fingers, lightly press the glitter down onto the glue so that it will stick.
5) Tap off excess.
6) Spray hairspray all over the shoe.
7) Put a second layer of glitter and spray hairspray all over again. (Optional)
8) Let dry for 24 hours.
I also heard that spray-on-glue might even be better, so try that!

I really hope this video helped you! Credits go to pursebuzz - check her videos out too!

  • I'm not being rude but hairspray and glue are REALLY washable. So when it rains, you'll see a puddle full of glitters ); I tried it before.

  • Fantastic!!!!!!!i love glittery and strassed shoes!!!yours are absolutely gorgeous!

  • cute!

  • @drivenboi09 u read my mind. i was just about to say that. i've worked with leather before, so this came to my mind as well.

  • the glitter may stick better to the shoe if you took the factory finisg off the shoe first, there are finish removers but a cheap way you could do it is lightly sand it with sandpaper

  • OMG! They look so nice! I have to try that!

  • If Doroty probably saw this video she would be like : Toto, i don't think we are in Kansas anymore.

  • i think it could have been better with dome thing toi lisin to
