How To Make GLITTER Shoes

Has anybody else seen all the sparkly everything lately? Sparkly earrings, sweaters, tank tops, jeans, and SHOES! I wanted my own sparkly shoes! So, I decided from an old pair of dirty ballet flats I would make my own and I love them! Heres how:

You'll need some shoes made of any material but patent leather

You'll also need about 2 oz of glitter, Mod Podge (this stuff rocks!), and a paint or sponge brush. 

Begin by mixing together the glitter and Mod Podge. I think I did about equal parts of each. Then, brush the first coat on each shoe. 

I know it doesn't look like much yet. Just trust me.

After applying the first coat brush on the second

Go ahead and let them dry for about 20 minutes or so...

...and brush on the third

 

Let that dry for a couple of hours, and apply a coat of only Mod Podge to seal in your hard work

 

and repeat on the other shoe. (By now you can definitely tell that this is not a mess free project by my pictures...) Let your shoes dry completely. I let mine dry over night, and you are DONE! I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

 

Fuzzy Sweater To Fluffy Leg Warmers

I received a very large bag of used clothes the other day and in there right at the top was a fuzzy old sweater. As soon as I saw it I immediately remembered the leg warmer craze I have been going through lately. So, out came some class from that poor, fluffy sweater.

 

Here's how you can make your own:

Take a hand-me-down sweater (any one will do) and cut off the sleeves at the shoulder seam. Just slash away it doesn't have to be neat.

 Now, take the sleeves and cut off the hump.

I had to take in the side a little where the sleeve got bigger for the underarm. Make sure it's nice and snug so it will stay on your leg like it's supposed to.

Lay out your leg warmer and about 3 inches from the smallest part cut half way around to form the stirrup that goes underneath your foot. Hem the top and you viola! You are done!!! 

I think there are many more of these to come... SO EASY!
