diy: glittery heels

I have been looking for the perfect silver glittery heels for my sister's wedding. Of course, everything I liked was over $280 (without shipping).  I even found a pair of Jerome C. Rousseau's glitter shoes on sale for $200 and called every Saks Fifth Avenue, only to find out they are sold out of my size. What’s a girl to do? Oh, I know, make my own!  I had recently decided I was going to do a DIY project where I change a plain pair of black heels into black shoes with a glittery heel (thanks to a blog post from Pretty Shiny Sparkly), but why not do the whole shoe in glitter?  It worked and I love them.  See directions below on how to make your own pair of glittery heels.  Please note - you will get glitter everywhere.  Our apartment is now sparkling (my boyfriend is a real trooper).

Before and After.



Supplies Needed:
- pair of shoes
- 2 sizes of glitter (coarse and fine or extra fine)
- Aleene's Jewel-It embellishing glue
- Mod Podge gloss sealer
- foam and regular brushes
All these supplies were bought at a local JoAnn's.

Adding the Glitter:
1. mix the coarse and fine glitter into a bowl and add Aleene's Jewel-It embellishing glue
2. brush the glue and glitter on the shoe
3. cover the entire shoe by sprinkling the coarse glitter
4. sprinkle the fine or extra fine glitter to get a more complete coverage
5. let the glue dry overnight

Adding the Finishing Touches:
1. mix a bowl of the Mod Podge sealer and fine or extra fine glitter
2. using a foam brush cover the entire shoe with the Mod Podge
3. let the sealant dry for 24 hours 
This will seal the glitter on the shoe so you aren't leaving a trail of glitter when you walk.

The Finished Product.
The Perfect Bridesmaid Glittery Heels!!!! 
I can't stop staring at them.
