Fix It Friday - Glitz It & Fix It with Some Shoes

 These are so darling looking now and my daughter was so excited when she came home from school and saw that her brother and I fixed up her shoes.

I don't know what she does with her shoes. Dragging her feet? Ballet tiptoe dancing? Playing marathon soccer? But this is what her shoes look like. Other that the toes, there is a lot of life left to these shoes and they still fit.

I know part of the problem is that these are dress shoes and cheaper one that have a glossy layer over the material instead of leather shoes and that glossy layer easily wears off.

There is no way to match & repair that glossy layer as it is, so my solution is to fix it by glitzing it!

 Tape off the area you do not want painted with some painters tape (you could try to use other tape, but painters tape works so nicely and removes easily.)

Paint the area with clear fingernail polish and sprinkle on glitter before it dries. Allow to dry completely (which should take no longer than 10 minutes) then spread on another layer of clear fingernail polish to seal in the glitter better. Allow to dry completely before wearing
