Sparkly soled LANVIN shoes



I would really love a pair of these sparkly soled LANVIN shoes….but alas I will have to make my own. Here is how you can do it…


Step 1: Tape the bottoms where the outsole arch ends. I made a V-shape on mine. The reason the glitter isn’t all over the sole of the shoe is when you walk it will immediately rub off.


Step 2: Get the essentials—Paint brushes, decoupage and sealing glue, glitter and tape.

Step 3: Paint on the glue with a paintbrush, cover with glitter and shake off over a nearby sink. Be extra careful along the edges so it doesn't look sloppy later.


Step 4: Once dry paint on another layer of the glue/seal.

Tip: do the inside of the heel as well – it will look fantastic!


Step 5: Once they're dry tap them a little to make sure the glitter is stuck on there good... or you can leave a sparkly trail for a little while.

Tip: To clean up the edges and bottom use  a damp cloth and lightly picked up stray glitters and used scotch tape to pick up any glue debris.
