Glitter Shoes!

So first step I need to give credit where credit is due. I got this idea from http://www.wearenotmartha.com/2010/12/make-your-own-glitter-flats/ . However after trying it I felt it would be well suited to the instructable  format.

So to transform your boring old flats from drab to fab here is what you will need:
          Shoes- flats or heals will work best. A pair of converse type sneakers would work too, just make sure you work carefully near the eyelets for the laces.
         Glitter- I'd recommend using a slightly finer glitter than I used here. It will help give it more of a polished look..
        Mod Podge Gloss.
        Foam Brush.
        Mixing tub.
        Fixative spray- optional but recommended
        Patients. 

Step 1 Prep Shoes

I happend to choose shoes with bows on them and this craft works best with a plain shoe so I had to cut the bows off. Depending on the shoe you may want to tape off the sole (for heals it would be wise to tape off the area of the sole between the ball of the foot and the heal, where the sole is exposed for all to see).

Great work! The pictures are a bit tricky because there's so much going on in the backgrounds. A picture of the finished flats would make a better intro image. I wonder if a spray glue would help the subsequent layers and reduce wait time between coats? How do they wear?
