GLITTER SHOES -Recycled from ugly worn out looking shoes

Step 8 Let the kid (or yourself) wear them

All purpose spray adhesive dries very fast so there really isn't any waiting for glue to dry, by the time you are finished glittering and shaking off glitter they are ready to go .

Let the kid wear them! They are dying to try them on and go outside to be blinded by their sparkly shoes. They will be proud of their "new" sparkle shoes and you'll be teaching them a really valuable lesson that they won't have to even notice they learned. How to be resourceful and refurbish and reuse things that may have been poorly designed or designed to wear out, but you can overcome that and Save a pair of shoes from the landfill. Your kids will be proud to say that "Mommy (or whoever) made these pretty shoes for ME!"


I did this project today and she has been wearing them outside most of the day(so that any glitter that is going to fall off will be outside), they seem to be holding up well, but if there are any issues I'll add that when it happens. One other thing, I think this idea would be great for a wedding or fancy event but it's also fun for everyday shoes.

This is a really cool idea that even my 12 year old would love to do. Thanks.
