Have an old pair of flats? A love of glitter? Admiration for Wonder Woman? These three things led me to this easy DIY which you can do in an afternoon. Feel free to modify for any color flat or glitter. Just be careful with the glitter … or you’ll end up with a “glitter apocalypse” in your house. I’m not kidding. Instructional video — and a link to more explicit instructions after the jump!
After your shoes have dried completely, seal the glitter with an unscented hairspray. That’s right, hairspray. It’s actually an incredible sealant once dry. Just be sure to put a sock in the interior of the shoe so it doesn’t get sticky inside.
Instructions on this project appear in full on Being Geek Chic.
