AW: DIY Wedding Shoes! PIP

ekk120 · January 2012

I have been pretty MIA the past week -- sorry! I got a new job.

So anyway, a few weeks back I had asked for some ideas/help with my wedding shoes. KellyCatalo posted the link to the tutorial for blue glitter heels (http://lauryngallowayblog.com/diy-glitter-heels/). I followed the tutorial tonight... and I think the shoes came out GREAT!

I used Mod Podge and glitter (Tulip brand). I had a $50 reward certificate to PiperLime, and the shoes were on clearance for $47... so they were free

Here are the shoes before... (beige and black Franco Sarto's... it was a little painful taking sandpaper to them! lol)

and AFTER!

Im really not one for sparkle and all that, but I just loved this idea and Im pretty happy with how they came out

Thanks to all you ladies who helped me decide what to do for shoes!

I've been hunting for the perfect yellow shoes, and this might be an idea that could work for me. Thanks for the inspiration! Your shoes came out great!!

</div><div>I was hunting for a yellow shoe too so I made yellow glitter shoes! I am heading out to a bridal show now but tomorrow if I have time I will try to take a good picture and post them for you! .. Yellow is tough ... You have to do it on white and the glitter is very translucent so I did about 6 coats still contemplating doing another one. It would probably actually be best to do on a yellow pair but had a hard time finding one. </div><div>

I used just regular Tulip glitter in the section of Michaels where the fabric paint is. They have a few different shades of blue. I dont think it said "ultra fine" glitter on it, but it definitely was. I also did three coats instead of two, and even then did a light fourth coat to go over spaces that were barren. Thanks so much for posting the tutorial -- I was having a hard time finding a pair that I loved! Good luck with your shoes -- post pictures please!

Those are gorgeous!!! I wasn't going to do anything with my shoes, but I just may have to after seeing yours!!

Thanks so much everyone! The tutorial was really easy to follow, but if you have any questions let me know! I'd be happy to help if you need it.

Oh yes, please! I'd love to see how yours came out!</div>

Here they are. I think I am going to do one more coat deepen the yellow a little bit more.
