DIY (SIN)spiration #1


There are just too many things that are so DIY-able, its sinful. Why use the rent money on a new pair of shoes, when it can be made in a day for $3? Yeah, I thought so....
Here is this week's (SIN)spiration:
 Christian Louboutin Glitter Pumps: 



Now, That bad boy retails at a financially crippling (if you're a college kid like me) $795.
Here's the alternative (Which will cost you less than $40):
.
First you need some pumps shaped similarly to the ones above. Something like these:


You'll also need:
Loose glitter
Outdoor Mod Podge (for water resistance)
Paint brushes
A disposable container

1. Mix the Glitter with the Modge Podge in the disposable container (This ensures that the glitter stays put when you put it on the shoe. Be sure to mix in a lot of Glitter!!)
2. Use the paintbrush to paint the glitter mixture onto the shoes.
3. Let dry
4. Inspect the shoes. Fill in any missed spots and let dry again.
5. Paint a final thin layer of Modge Podge on the shoes, let dry and WEAR THEM!!

This techinque was developed by Annie Spandex, check her out!!

  9. Amazing blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?
    I'm planning to start my
    own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
    Would you
    advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid
    option? There are so many choices out there that I'm totally
    overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Bless you!

  12. After I initially left a comment I seem to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added-
    checkbox and now every time a comment is added I recieve
    four emails with the exact same comment. Perhaps there is an easy method you can remove me from that service?
    Many thanks!
