I have been creating Halloween Costumes like a crazy woman. The Princess is going to be Dorothy for Halloween this year. My mom found her an authentic Dorothy Dress at the Goodwill Store (I think it was $4.00) but she couldn’t find shoes. The princess had a pair of red dress shoes that were a tad beat up (okay really beat up the sole was separating from the shoe but no holes just needed to be glued.) I mentioned the shoes to my mom and said I just needed to buy Glitter. My mom knows me and she also knew I would NEVER purchase the glitter to make the shoes work. My mom calls me and says the small bottle or big bottle for the glitter, I said big (thinking an 8oz container). I received the box and open it the jar of glitter is the size of a Mason jar. I would like to state I had no idea glitter came that large. I am calling that jar Glitterzilla – it is HUGE! Once I had Glitterzilla and the Princess saw it I had to glitter her shoes.
Materials:
- Mod Podge®
- Glitter (aka: Glitterzilla)
- Old Shoes (I did have to glue the soles)
- Tray (for glitter)
- Paint Brush (for Mod Podge®)
Cover the shoe with Mod Podge
Dump the glitter over the shoe (over the Mod Podge®)
More Glitter!
To seal the shoes – I covered them in Mod Podge®
Finished shoes! Boy do they glitter!
We now have a beautiful “new” pair of shoes for Halloween (and whenever she feels like wearing them) and a whole bottle of red glitter (oh boy!)
