Glitter/Sparkle Shoes Help!

I got my shoes at Wicked Addiction (online store). They fit true to size (I'm usually a size 9) and were a little pricey but WORTH! The have ombre options as well and do custom orders.

I am in love with the first pair!! The wedges would probably be more comfortable though. If you are going to try to DIY your shoes I would recommend spraying a coat of hairspray over top as it helps seal the glitter in.

I would honestly check ardenes for some cheap heels and then get some fabric glue or mod podge and some glitter.. and theeeeeeeen, definitely make sure you seal all that glitter in with a top coat of some kind so you dont hansel and gretel yourself all night!

I don't think I've ever really looked at any of Martha's work (she was before my time), but I'm sure she is/was great! Thanks

I for sure will be looking into what to use - whether it be hairspray or something like a clear coat of nail polish!

As for Amazon, they have lots of cool stuff, but ombre heels are not one of them unfortunately :/

It was sooo easy! Honestly, its one of those things that's just a multi layer activity.

This seems SUPER helpful. and has similar steps to how Martha Stewart does it/has on her website. and lets be real. Martha is the craft queen! haha

That's impressive that you did that yourself. and I LOVE toms!!!

I went a little more "bling bling" than "sparkle"..... Not DIY tho, got a crazy deal, and got these delivered, taxes in, for $80....

DIY-ing shouldn't be too hard... but make sure you figure out a "setting spray" type finish so that you're not glitter bombing the venue with every step!! Haha.

Also, I haven't heard anything bad from people ordering from Amazon, so maybe give that a peek too!

That's what I'm hoping - as long as I try it in advance I can at least see how the shoes look and how much glitter falls off in the course of a night or something! Plus I mean, if I DIY it then I could always bring backup glitter and glue to the wedding right?

OH MY GOSH YES!! lol That is basically what I'm looking to do (just with ombre though)!! I will for sure hit up the closest Michael's as soon as I get a chance!

Got it to work!

my DIY glitter shoes

I have seen some intense sparkle shoes in malls!!! Bramalea City Centre if you're anywhere close to there! Tho the colours I've only seen in person are silver, gold and rose gold... could give Amazon a try too! Prices are better and I got my shoes from there and they're amazing!!! I've attached a pair of silver shoes I got at the mall! Sorry I dont remember the exact name it was just a quick walk in! They were $35!

I DIY'ed my own glittery wedges and they were SO COMFORTABLE. i don't know why the site won't let me post photos, but, i got fabric glue from michaels, and gold and glow in the dark glitter and ended up doing 4 coats of glitter just to be 100% sure. it was a great budget project and they were so comfortable. will PM you photos

Those all look beautiful! Love the blue sparkles!

I think if you have the right glue you should be fine! You've got a lot of time that if you do them and the glitter doesn't stick, or some fall off, you can just add extra coats!

Those are really pretty! I’m not going to be any help for DIY or finding anything like that, but I believe in you!
