Sparkly Shoes

Give scuffed up old shoes new life with this glittery craft project

Materials:
*Old pair of shoes
*Glitter
*Glitter bond (what I used) or spray-on adhesive
*Spray-on acrylic coating in gloss finish
*Newspaper

Directions:
*Spread newspaper across your designated work area
*If using a spray-on adhesive, stuff the inside of the shoes with leftover newspaper so as to prevent the adhesive from sticking glitter to the inside of the shoe (if not using spray on adhesive, you may still want to do this before you spray on the acrylic finish
*Apply adhesive to a section of the shoe, then quickly pour on glitter
*Repeat process until the entire shoe is covered in glitter.  Make sure you have not missed any spots.
*Let shoes dry for the recommended amount of time given on the adhesive bottle
*Spray shoes with the acrylic coating.  Let dry.
