DIY Sunday ♡ : Glitter Heels



glitter-y high heels! 
Inspired by these Miu Miu-esque Topshop beauties I've been eyeing out for a while


YOU WILL NEED:
-pencil
-brush
-sticky tape
-some snazzy heels with a nice & thick heel
-fabric glue
-GLITTER!


1. pencil out the shape you're going to fill with glitter. Put sticky tape along the lines for a nice crisp finish.

2. (optional: I was worried the glitter might look thin and sparse so painted a coat of gold fabric paint. This was kind of unnecessary, but looked pretty cool … hello next DIY idea!)

3. get your brush out and paint the section with glue. I used glitter glue for extra sparkle

4. put a bowl on your lap and shake glitter over the glue-y bit NOTE: this is immensely satisfying. Bang the shoes around a bit to get rid of excess glitter but it should stick pretty well. Remove sticky tape (also pretty satisfying. You're welcome!)

This is the only photo I could manage right now, better ones to come!

SO that was fun hey? Other ideas: glitter-y toe-caps / all-over glitter extravaganza / glitter everywhere-but-the-heel
