diy thursday : sparkle shoe edition

does anyone remember the disney channel show "phil of the future?" 

well in one episode, his little sister, pim said to her parents "it's spackle tuesday!" my family quotes that pretty much every tuesday.

so today i decided that thursdays are diy thursday. maybe not every single thursday. but i want to try and do some sort of craft project at least once a week because hey, a girl's gotta keep busy, you know?

so today i decided that a pair of cheap-o target keds needed to be glittered.

i took some modge podge (which is actually called mod podge), some glitter, my shoes, and some duct tape. and i made some awesome summer shoes. 

ready? here's the project.

grab your goods. shoes, modge podge, glitter, brushes, duct tape.

make sure your toes are glittery, too. and put on your most sparkly playlist - mine happens to include natalie cole, aretha franklin, the isley brothers, and the supremes.

then you might want to grab some breakfast and move outside because glitter gets everywhere.

mix the glitter and modge podge. duct tape off the parts you don't want glittery. paint on a thin layer of the glitter mix and let it dry for about 20 minutes.

second layer: go all out. seriously. lay it on thick. third layer: touch ups only.

the end result!

totes diggin the glitter.

i added a pink sparkle heart to boost the sassy level of these shoes.

with laces

perfect summertime sneaks!
and there you have it. some awesome glittery shoes. :)

  1. Can we please just talk about how you now have three pairs of glitter shoes? How do you ever choose which pair to wear? They are all gold/pink shades...

    2. It's true! Glitter shoes are not a bad thing to be obsessed with. Plus, these are cute and have a heart! The other pair you got for your birthday last year...they have laces...and a pointy toe...and you rarely wear them...although I'm not sure why.

    3. Right. I know the ones you're talking about. I think I forget about those. I like how we know each other's wardrobes.
