say hello to my new shoes :) together we took a trip to the wienerwald today, see more pictures on flickr. after all the walking they are tired now and will go to bed, i won’t i’m going out to party ;) because i also have a new dress which want’s to dance ;)

i finally found some time to customize a pair of black shoes i recently bought :) i wanted to try this since i saw some glittering shoes at zara. i didn’t want to spend so much money so i decided to do this. just in case you feel the same way about it i captured the process and made a tutorial :) here we go!

click the picture to zoom in :)

Step 1: you need: Shoes, Tacky Glue (it turns transparent don’t be scared), 40g Glitter, a brush and some time ;) – get started by deciding which part of your shoes you want to sparkle. you can of course put glitter all over too! I used masking tape to separate the parts I wanted to stay black and the glittery ones.

Step 2: mix glue and glitter, don’t be afraid to use the glitter ok?

Step 3: put on the first layer of glue/glitter using the brush

Step 4: let the first layer dry and put one the next one… I think it took me 5 layers to get the glitter state you can see in the end.

Step 5: let the shoes dry over night, or until they are fully dry. than get rid of the masking tape… i had a shock moment when i did that step, because it’s tricky… i used a pair of tweezers to get every last bit that got stuck under the glitter.

Step 6: i also changed the laces

Step 7: you can go out now and spread some glitter to the world ;)

have fun!
