Getting in the Christmas spirit

DIY Glitter Heel Boot

For many weeks I have been wanting to update these boots, as they have been laying around unworn, and with christmas only a few weeks away I thought it was the perfect opportunity to inject some christmas spirit into my wardrobe.

What you will need:

  • PVA Glue
  • Sandpaper
  • Fine Glitter
  • Paint Brush
  • Hair Spray

Firstly you'll need to rub the heel you are planning on customising with sandpaper, this is so the glue and glitter will stick.

Then in a bowl mix half the glitter with some glue (as shown below), mix it until it has a thick consistency and you can no longer see the glitter.


Then paint the heel of your boot with the glitter, glue mix, until none of heel is visible. Wait for the heel to dry and repeat this step. You can keep repeating this step until they dry and the wood underneath is completely covered, it took me 3 steps.


Finally spray with hairspray to keep the glitter in place, and voila!
