  • How to paint a pair of patterned shoes. How To Make Galaxy Shoes - Step 1
    Step 1

    You will need:
    - A large brush
    - glitter (I used a multicoloured mix)
    - newspaper (to protect the surroundings!)
    - Mod Podge paste
    - a jar/mixing container
    - and a pair of shoes. (Preferably black as this works well for the galaxy effect)

    Step 2

    Put a sizeable amount of Mod Podge into your jar. Sprinkle lots (and lots!) of glitter on top of it. Make sure you have newspaper laid out – this is the part which always seems to go messily! Stir the glitter into the mix so it is nice and even.

    Paint your shoes! Don’t worry if the shoe looks dangerously white – it’s meant to look that way, I promise! When I did my latest pair; I was distinctly nervous when I saw how visible the Mod Podge was! Not to worry; when dry, it becomes completely transparent – with a glossy sheen too.

Thanks for the inspiration - I've been meaning to do this to the soles of some black heels for a while, and thanks to this tutorial reminding me to do it/how easy it is, I've finally done it. I used the same mixture of glitter and mod podge as you, so I basically did this but only on part of the shoes.

May I ask which brand of glitter you used?
