DIY glitter heels
Are you a fan of things that sparkle? Then, you will definitely adore this DIY heels project. If you don’t have some glitter shoes at home, don’t worry at all, you can make them on your own. All you will need is a pair of heels that you want to glitter, fabric or tacky glue, glitter, a small paintbrush, painters or masking tape, and a sealer. In order to get a more eye-catching look of your heels, try adding glitter to just one part of the shoe, for example, the heel.
- First, tape off the section you want to add glitter to with the masking tape.
- Cover the rest of the shoe in a plastic bag to keep it away from the glitter.
- Take the paintbrush and using it apply a heavy layer of glue to the section of your shoe that you want to cover with glitter. In our case, it is the heel of the shoe.
- Allow the glue to dry a little.
- Using your paintbrush take from the glitter and apply over the glued section. Repeat until the section is completely covered in glitter.
- Your glitter heels are done! Just be careful since the glitter over them can be a little messy.
DIY the ultimate styles-up party season heels
For this DIY heels project, you will need the following materials: a pair of high-heels, glue, flat-backed gemstones, and a skewer. The project is so easy to do. All you need is to follow the step-by-step tutorial below and put your creativity on max (since you will need it for the gemstones design). Start from the center of the back part of the heel and work your way out to the sides and down the heel. Put a little glue to the flat-back of the gemstone and stick it to the shoe.
Extra tip: if you are unhappy with the placement of the gemstone over the shoe, don’t worry at all. The glue will need around 10 minutes to completely dry, so you can change your mind in these 10 minutes and replace the gemstone.
Another extra tip: don’t worry if you have placed too much of the glue and it spreads away from the gemstone to the heel. It will dry clear and then you can remove it easily with the point of the skewer.
Extra tip number 3: Leave to fully dry before wearing your newest DIY heels so you don’t risk any of the gemstones falling off the shoe.
