DIY Glitter Heels

Okay, so here’s the thing.  I’ve seen Wobisobi do this unbelievably simple repair in this post and all over Pinterest, so I thought, I might as well try it.

And if you’re following me on Twitter, I’ve officially declared Saturday as DIY day.  Hahahaha.  This is me trying to be more…. how do you say it… resourceful.  I’ve so many things lying around everywhere.  I might as well put them to good use. :)

You will need four things:

  • paper plate
  • art brush
  • glue
  • glitter (color of your choice)


And of course, the heels that need fixin’.


On a paper plate, put a good amount of glue, and mix your glitter.  I had to mix the gold and silver to better match my heels.  You may need to play around with this for a bit:  for me, gold would have been too glaring with the nude, so I intended to tone it down with silver.


There’s no specific amount of glue and glitter to be combined, just make sure they will make a somewhat thick paste.


Then just coat your heels liberally.  Some of you may ask if you have to make the heels smoother, but really you don’t.  Unless of course you’re patient (unlike me).


Let the first coat dry before putting on another one.  If you put a second coat before it dries, you might form a clump somewhere.  Finish it off with a thin coat of glue and voila! :)


I cleaned up the messy parts with a good ol’ cotton swab. :)

I’ve read suggestions that this will also do well with sand for a more matte finish.  Some people also used clear glue for a glossy finish.

What are you waiting for?  Fix your heels already!

Day 18: Love But Rare

Day 18 is a song I love but rarely listen to.

I remember hearing this song when I was much much younger.  I was still living in Manila then and at that time, MTV still shows music videos.  I really liked her song, and her shoes.  It’s a wedge with some intricate detailing on it.  Too bad, I was never really able to find out more about that shoe.  I would’ve bought it in a heartbeat.

If your hope scatters like the dust across your track, I’ll be the moon that shines on your path.

Pucker Guide

I am beginning to like makeup, but I’ve always had a difficult time deciding which to wear for what.  I came across this lipstick guide in Pinterest.  You really have to thank that brilliant site for having everything.

Majority of the shades here, I already have.  Hahahaha.  I should really make use of my investments wisely.
