• Old Shoes
• Glitter from Rayher 110g (used ArtMinds Extra Fine Glitter)
• Fabric glue of Stanger (used Aleene’s OK to Wash-it permanent fabric adhesive)
• Paint Brush (a foam one works perfectly)
• Clear-Coat from Marabu (used Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic Coating 1303)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Apply glue onto shoes one by one with a thin layer of fabric glue. One shoe at a time so the glue doesn’t dry out.
2. Glitter generously with sprinkles and let stand for 5 minutes.
3. In a well-ventilated area evenly spray with clear coat. Complete two layers spraying at least 30 minutes before the next application!

TIPS – Make sure you place the shoes on something they won’t stick to while drying.  Wax paper or spray newspaper with non-stick spray (but wash off the bottom of the shoes before wearing so you don’t slip and fall).
