Get The Technique
Recently on The Martha Stewart Show, we invited Erica Chan Coffman from the very popular blog Honestly...WTF to demonstrate the above glittered shoes with Martha. Who doesn't love a good project that upgrades your fashion into looking designer without spending too much? Since glittered shoes seem to be everywhere this fall, it's easy enough to DIY a pair in your closet.
And what better reward than to look out into the audience and see a group of ladies showing off their version of the craft! Visiting from Minnesota, this group of retired teachers, and friends for 30-plus years, caught my eye, and I wanted to share their handy work.

2 Apparently they get together frequently and do crafts. Decorating shoes was their most recent gathering before their visit.

4 Iridescent orange glitter really makes these shoes pop.
5 The ribbon laces are a perfect match to the glitter.
6 Instead of rhinestones, pearls were used to embellish the toe. So cute!

Thank you for such a great project to do with my 10 year old granddaughter. I started the painting and she quickly took it over; she is on her second pair and was so excited to show them to everyone that comes in the house; have to thank Michael's for having all of the supplies even to glitzy shoe strings to match.

We enjoyed making those beautiful glitter shoes. My grandchildren can't wait to make a pair too!
