Chasing Runways

Christmas Project

I’m back after a Holiday hoorah! I have so much outfit blogs in store for you all, and I’m so excited to show it all! Been busy over the Holidays so it will be a late update. BUT! I’ll make sure it will be worth the wait for you guys, don’t you worry. I don’t want to bore you with lame blogs. :)

I’ll be showing you for the meantime my first ever DIY glitter shoes:

After showering all my saved up allowances to buying gifts and stuffs, I decided to do a practical deed. I turned my “Cinderella” shoes into a princess! (Maid, then princess? Get it?) :)

My Mendrez ballet flats still fits really well. It’s still good to go, but the only problem is that its shiny covering peels off even though I haven’t used it that much yet. So I used it as my subject. :)

Then with the help of my magical brush wand and some helpers:
Silver glitters, Elmer’s glue, Nail polishes in natural and glitter

First, I peeled the gold shoe covering. Afterwards, I brushed some glue on the outside of my shoes and then sprinkled some glitters, until its thick enough to cover everything. Let it dry over night, then, finally added some natural nail polishes for the finishing touches. I actually just experimented with the nail polishes because I wanted to prevent to glitters from falling off. Fortunately it worked big time! :D

The outcome: A pretty glittered ballet flats! It really turned into a princess-y shoes right? Haha. Though I must say it looks better in person. :D

DIY glitter shoes, practical and magical! :)
