Guest Spotlight: The Kurtz Corner

Hey everyone!  I would like to welcome Audra from The Kurtz Corner for our very first guest post! Take it away, Audra!

Hi there Sasse follower's! I'm Audra, from The Kurtz Corner! A little bit about me before we start, I'm a newlywed living in Dallas, TX, I'm a self proclaimed do it yourselfer with a passion for all things crafty. Please stop by and visit me any time, I'd love to have you! Recently, I have become infatuated with glitter...okay you caught me, I've been obsessed with anything that sparkles for my entire life! I just can't get enough glitter!! This project was inspired by the gorgeous Rene Caovilla glitter bottom shoes. I wasn't sure if the glitter would hold on the soles of my shoes so I gave it a go on some heels that I didn't wear very often. You can find my first post on Glitter Sole Shoes HERE. The second time I used Martha Stewart's White Gold Glitter and let me just tell you these shoes ROCK! Check out these beauties, I get so many compliments on them, people are amazed when I tell them I made them!

  

Here Is What You'll Need:

- Fine powder glitter

- Mod Podge - Gloss

- Paintbrush

- Shoes

- Paper plate

Start by cleaning the area you will be painting on your shoes and tape off your shoe if you're a messy painter. Next, mix your glitter and Mod Podge. There is no specific amount, just enough glue to cover the sole and add some glitter for a base coat. Paint your shoe soles evenly with your glitter/glue mix and then sprinkle your dry glitter on top of the glue. Cover the entire sole with dry glitter and then tap off any excess. Your shoe sole should now be completely covered with glitter. Allow that to dry for 20 minutes and then paint on another coat of plain Mod Podge, not the glitter/glue mix. Your shoe will now look something like this.

 Don't worry, it will dry clear and shiny, I promise! You are now done! Can you believe how easy that is? Let your Mod Podge dry for a few hours before wearing and then you rock those heels ladies! The glitter holds up really well. I've worn them three times already and they still look perfect! Obviously, you can't bee too hard on them just like any other shoe, don't grid them on bar stool rungs or anything like that. Here are a few shots of my finished product.

 These would be great for weddings, prom, or just a night out on the town! Knowing me, I will be wearing these to work all the time! One of the many advantages of working where I do, everyday is a fashion show and the hallway is my runway! Enjoy!
