First things first! Ruby Slippers, of course. I couldn't start with anything else but shoes - love'em! OK. You'll need Spray Paint, Craft Glue, Glitter and any plastic shoe shaped object:) In my case, I've used my leftovers after our Home Production of Cinderella Story.

Shake any access off and let you Ruby Slippers dry. Now, you are ready to follow the Yellow Brick Road.
