Guest Blogger Natasha De Vil of the The Crafty Ms De Vil Blog shoe you how to upcycle your shoes for the festive season.
So it
Christmas the time of festivity and celebration but you have a problem you
spent the last of your pennies buying fab gifts for all your friends and family
and now you have no money left to get those awesome shoes for the office
Christmas party. Never fear Ms De Vil is here to show you how to vamp a pair of
old shoes that will cost you less than a fiver but make your feet look a
million pounds!
First you
need to select your shoes and choose a glitter that a matching colour.
You will also
need a tray, a bowl and a small artists paint brush and some fabric or pva
glue.
Evenly cover
your shoes with glue using a paint brush
Then sprinkle
with glitter covering the whole shoe and then leave to dry.
When dry
shake off the excess glitter in the tray and then mix this and the remainder
glitter in a bowl with some more glue, I’d go for an even ratio of glitter and
glue.
Give the
shoes an even coat of the glitter glue mixture and leave to dry. This second
coat will seal the glitter on the shoe to stop it shedding.
And voila
once the glue is dry your new dancing shoes are ready to hit the dance floor.
And that is
how you revamp a pair of old shoes into new.
Enjoy
