DIY: Glitter Boots

The second I saw this Glitter Boot DIY (originally here) I knew that I had to make them! I love glitter almost as much as I love cheetah. Although I must say, the title of this post should be "See SB make a Mess". The floor of my apartment is now covered in gold glitter. I am actually really enjoying the new glitter finish on our floor, but if you ask my roommate she might have a different opinion (yeah, right). Okay, on to the DIY!

Step One: Gather the Supplies

1. Boots - I used these Old Navy boots largely because I paid a whopping $13 for them, so I wasn't afraid to mess them up.

2. Glitter and lots of it! I used two sizes of glitter and mixed them together - I don't think this is necessary though because the larger glitter took over.

3. Fabric Glue - I used one that said it would work on leather since the boots I used are faux leather.

4. Paint Brush - I just used this to paint the glue on to the boot, so it would be applied more evenly.

5. Newspaper - Obviously I only had magazines so I used that instead, but newspaper is a better option. 

Step Two: Apply the Glue

 

Step Three: Apply the Glitter

Simple as That: You're Finished!

You can now marvel at your beautiful creation! You might want to leave them to dry for a while because I think the glitter might shed!

 These were really fun to make and I cannot wait to wear them! I think I am going to pair them with skinny jeans and a simple, cream top, so the focus is on the boots! This could also be done with silver glitter on gray boots...Old Navy has the exact boots I used in gray too! Have fun!!
