Revive Your Peeling Heels By Turning Them Into DIY Glitter Shoes

Tools and materials:

• Foam brush
• Mod Podge
• Disposable plate
• Tape
• Glitter
• Sandpaper
• Shoes

1. Prep your shoes

First things first, you need to prep your shoes, especially if they are worn out and peeling. Go ahead and sand them so that you even out the cracks and crevices. 

Clean it with a damp cloth and leave it out to dry. 

Next, tape the soles of your shoes. This will ensure that glitter doesn't stick there. 

2. Apply Mod Podge

With your foam brush, spread some Mod Podge over your shoes. This will act as a sealant and smooth out the surface. 

3. Use glitter

Now for the super cool part! Take your glitter ( use any color or combination you want) and pour it into a container, as shown. If you’re using more than one color, then be sure to mix the colors. 

Next, add your mixture to a bit of Mod Podge. 

Then mix everything thoroughly until you have a thick, glittery paste. 

Spread the mixture all over your shoe. Make sure you spread it evenly to avoid any bumps. Also, don’t forget the heels! Once you’re done, leave it to dry. 

Depending on the level of sparkle you want, you can repeat the process should the first layer not be glittery enough for you. Repeat the process about three to four times until you get to your desired look. 

Tip: Let the layer dry before you apply another layer. 

Also, in between every application, you should cover your paste to not dry. 

4. Seal the glitter

Once your DIY glitter high heels are ready, add another layer of Mod Podge to seal the deal! This will prevent the glitter from falling out and ensure long-lasting wear.
