Step 1First pick out a shoe that you want to glitterize! This is my mom with one of the shoes she chose. Mine were the same, just a size bigger. They can be pretty much any material, but I recommend NOT using patent leather shoes because the glitter won't stick quite as nicely.
-
Step 2Measure out the mod podge glue and the glitter. It will be a 1:1 ratio, so you want as much glue as you have glitter. We used 2 oz glue and 2 oz glitter, but then we had TONS of leftovers and had to go on this crazy search to find tons of more things to glitterize haha So I would cut that at least in half, if not more! Also I would recommend using very fine glitter. We did and it came out amazing! But I've seen pics of people who used bigged glitter and it looks kinda chunky:/ Oh! And this is my good friend in this pic, we had a glitterizing party:)
-
Step 3Mix your glitter-glue concoction up really really good!
-
Step 4Paint your glitter-glue concoction onto your shoes:D They will look much lighter than the color glitter you chose because of the glue, don't worry, if you use mod podge, it WILL dry clear:) This is a pic of me, by the way haha
-
Step 5And keep painting layer after layer of the glitter-glue concoction until all of your shoe is covered:)
-
Step 6Now is the time if you have a lot of excess glitter-glue concoction to find other things to glitterize. I didn't take a pic, but my mom even glitterized 2 purses and a glasses case haha Then let dry and then LIGHTLY spray with some clear glaze spray. Let dry again:)

Step 7Then show off your awesome new glitterized shoes!!!!

Most of my shoes either has an ugly design (nothing else to expect when you've got size 12) or are made of leather. But if I ever get a pair of shoes with a nice design and but ugly color, I'll totally try this.
I like the pictures as well.
thanks =]
