Glitterized Heels

Eventually as I post more, you guys will see that I have a tiny glitter obsession.  C'mon, I love getting all glammed up and throwing on something glittery and being extra girly.  This, however, is a rather new development of mine.  Within the past three years I've truly found my style and, sadly for some people, glitter is a big deal.  It makes things so pretty!  Pinterest has helped further this obsession because they seriously have so many crafts for making glittery things.  I stumbled upon these heels one day and knew eventually I would need them.  When my 26th birthday rolled around and my girlfriends and I decided to attend a show called The Donkey Show, I knew I'd found where these heels would fit in.

For those of you who are unfamiliar, let me explain briefly what The Donkey Show is before you start getting ideas.  It's a disco interpretation of A Midsummer Night's Dream.  They throw glitter on you from disco balls and roller skate around a stage with glitter covered dancing queens in every corner.  If you're ever in the Boston area, I totally recommend heading to Cambridge for this experience.  It is quite the night.  And if you like glitter, it's totally the place for you.  At the end of the night, I was walking out of the theatre and these two people behind me were talking about my shoes.  Mission Accomplished.

(My cat Lucy was very interested, isn't she cute??)

What You Need:

A pair of heels- I had bought a nude pair from Target that my cats decided to claw, so the     glitter covered that up!

Mod Podge

Brushes- sponge or bristle, it truly makes no difference

Glitter- make sure you have an ample amount, I made that mistake

Clear Acrylic Spray

Directions:

1. Prep a work area.  Make sure you're either extremely neat, or prepared to make a mess.  I got glitter everywhere because I didn't think it through.  I suggest using newspaper everywhere in the vicinity to catch stray glitter.
2. Spread the Mod Podge all over the heels where you want the glitter using the brush.
3. Shake the glitter over the wet areas.  I made the mistake of not having enough glitter so I used two different kinds.  You probably can't tell, but they're different golds.  Thankfully it isn't super noticeable when they're on.
4. Spray the acrylic all over the shoes in attempt to keep the glitter on.  It won't work 100%, but it will definitely help.  Keep your heels in a box or some place you don't mind glitter getting.

So here is the Original DIY, but be warned: it is not in English.  I just followed the pictures and added in some of my own stuff.  I hope you have as much fun with these as I did!  Honestly, I wish they were appropriate to wear on a regular basis.
