I have to admit, sometimes I just LIKE sparkly things. And as a crafty girl at heart, glitter makes my heart pitter patter. So when I stumbled across a how-to make a pair of my own twinkly-sparkly shoes, I took the bait! Of course, I did it for my children.
Here is my version of these glitterful masterpieces. Be forewarned, glitter is NOT for the faint of heart!
What you will need:
a pair of sneakers - we each found what we loved!
fabric glue - tacky glue seemed to work the best
glitter - duh!
painters tape
paper plates
a shoe box
craft sticks or toothpicks
other metallic embellishments
First up, gather your shoes and supplies:
Take out your shoe laces. Pull out the tongue, don't stick it out....pull it out silly! And tape down the rest of the shoe with painters tape.
