Unfortunately the layer I added significantly reduced the sparkle. Even using a glossy variety made the overall appearance matte. So I added yet another layer of Modpodge and glitter to “fix” it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-sparkle#post-1868789 Sat, 16 Dec 2017 16:34:59 +0000 always trying 1868789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>very clever..I will keep this in mind if I ever have a pair to do this with. thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-sparkle#post-1868788 Sat, 16 Dec 2017 16:32:37 +0000 karen13 1868788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I love it and have been thinking about doing this with chunky glitter. I was going to try this. I think you could sub modgepodge for glue in the final coat, maybe test it on an inconspicuous spot or a sample piece.<br /> <a href="https://ilovetocreateblog.blogspot.com/2014/11/double-sparkle-no-shed-secret-glitter.html" rel="nofollow">https://ilovetocreateblog.blog.....itter.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-sparkle#post-1868782 Sat, 16 Dec 2017 16:23:01 +0000 Meredith 1868782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen: Some people recommend a coating of polyurethane, but I don’t love the idea of my feet in contact with those chemicals.</p> <p>Angie: Thank you!</p> <p>The Cat: Happy to share. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-sparkle#post-1868780 Sat, 16 Dec 2017 16:22:19 +0000 Jane 1868780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-sparkle#post-1868778 Sat, 16 Dec 2017 16:20:13 +0000 Angie 1868778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nicely done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-sparkle#post-1868776 Sat, 16 Dec 2017 16:17:27 +0000 JAileen 1868776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shoes were worn looking, and now look great!

Thank you for sharing this idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-sparkle#post-1868772 Sat, 16 Dec 2017 16:11:05 +0000 Meredith 1868772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last weekend I attempted to give new life to a pair of favorite flats. They fit well and I really like the style, but they are creased and worn, especially at the toes and heels. I decided to cover them in glitter to see if they will pass as a festive option for some casual events this season. </p> <p>It was very easy!</p> <p>I coated them with Mod Podge, leaving about 1/8” of and inch around the top (so the glitter doesn’t scratch my feet), dusted with glitter and allowed the layer to dry. I thought I would need more than one layer, but the combination of chunky black glitter on black shoes resulted in good coverage. After the layer was dry I added a layer of hairspray to seal them. Then I wore them to the home of my greatest enemy to allow any loose glitter to fall onto their floor. Just kidding. I try to live life enemy-free, so I walked around the block. I’m sure they will still shed so I will avoid wearing them in people’s homes and will only wear them out to restaurants.</p> <p>They are no Jimmy Choos and I probably shouldn’t wear them in the rain or snow, but for less than $10 and 30 minutes of time it was a worthwhile experiment. </p>
