These are my favorite flats, and you can tell because I have literally worn them out. Because I am not quite ready to toss them away, I had to fix them. What better way to hide scuffed up leather?
Glitter and glue, of course!
Tutorial
Things you need
- Glitter
- Glue
- Paper Plate
- Paint brush
First clean your shoes
Mix up a paste with your glitter and glue.
apply to the part you want to cover
sprinkle on some more glitter and let dry,
then shake off all the extra glitter.
coat with one final thin layer of glue.
and let that dry.
and now you have a new pair of shoes,
~ well kind of~

Glitter just makes everything better.
