Glitter and Glue Shoe Fix #2

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

  1. Glitter
  2. Glue
  3. Paper Plate
  4. 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~
Another great way to fix your shoes with glitter is HERE .
Glitter  just  makes everything better.
Lots of <3!!!

    LOVE it!! Hey Anne I am starting a new theme on my blog for 2012. It will be a year of completely homemade things. I am having a linky party going throughout the year too. You have some amazing refashion ideas and I'd love for you to link up. I will need all the inspiration I can get this year if I plan on making or refashioning all my clothes in 2012:>

    On your final step, do you use the glitter/glue combo or just the glue?
