DIY Glitter Shoes

I'm girly. Yes, very girly. When it comes to Halloween costumes, I'm guilty for being a little too into being a Disney princess versus a spooky zombie. This Halloween, my girly behavior didn't disappoint. I was Dorothy.

But first, I needed sparkly red shoes. Instead of coughing up $40+ on a pair of red glitter heels that I most likely will only wear once, I opted for the Goodwill route. Here's how I made my own glitter shoes for under $15! 

Side note: I might justify wearing these during the upcoming holidays! They're way too appropriate.

Need:
Shoes; I got these red patent leather kitten heels at Goodwill for $3! 
Red glitter
Mod Podge
Paint brush
Clear acrylic sealer

Directions:

In a cup, mix Mod Podge and red glitter. Add more glitter than you think you should.

Add tissue paper into soles to avoid a glitter mess.

Paint mixture on shoes. Let dry - about 25 minutes.

Keep layering until you get the results you want. I added about 4 layers.

Let dry. Spray with acrylic sealer. Let dry.

Enjoy your Dorothy-esque shoes!
