First of all, I would be doing a mission preparation update but I'm still waiting on my interview with the stake president...so that'll come later
So I decided I wanted to try another pinterest DIY and settled on GLITTER SHOES!!! I had an old pair of black 5-inch heels that I don't wear that often anyway and figured if I mess up, it wouldn't be too bad. The first problem I encountered was the various posts for the same walkthrough. Some people would use a lot nicer products and glitter to make the shoes etc and I just didn't want to spend a lot on this. So I finally settled on Mod Podge and chunky blue glitter. I also had a makeup sponge (unused!) and I grabbed some cute black bows to hot-glue on later (may or may not do still). The next problem is that you have to wait for the mod podge to dry....and it can take awhile.
Basically, I poured some mod podge into a paper bowl and dumped a lot of glitter in. I stirred it around with the sponge and used that to start dabbing on the shoes. I did a few coats that way and had to leave them over-night so I could see how it would look totally dried. For those of you who don't know, the mod podge will go on white but dry clear so I had to see which spots needed more glitter. Unfortunately, I left for Chicago the next day and only just got back to them today! They looked pretty darn good and I'll post some pictures later. The next problem was the fact that you could still see spots of black through the glitter so it was time for more layers! I've done another thick coat of glitter/mod podge and am currently waiting on that to dry. When I have the finished product, I'll write the rest of the review and include pictures!
Can't wait to see these!
