DIY Sex in the City Glitter Shoes

Thursday, May 27, 2010


It's time to Carrie On! Sex in the City 2 hits theaters nationwide today and in honor of the return of Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha,and Miranda on the big screen, we wanted to show you how easy it is to get the SATC 2 look without breaking the bank.

In the movie, Carrie wears the sparkly and golden Christian Louboutin shoes you see in the graphic above (here's a closer look we found of Carrie wearing them on the Streets of NYC). We wanted to create our own version using fabulous Tulip® Fashion Glitter™ and Fashion Glitter Bond™. And the cool thing is that you can get this look for under $20 bucks using a pair of fabric pumps you pick up at your local discount store or your local thrift shop. You may even have a pair in your closet that you need to revamp!

DIY Sex in the City Glitter Shoes

– Tulip® Fashion Glitter™ (in gold or color of your choice)
– Tulip® Glitter Bond™
– Paintbrush or make-up sponge
– Paper towels
– Shoes (we used some with a fabric texture, it makes it easier for the glitter to grab on)
– Plastic Tablecloth
– Foil

Instructions:
For best results, please read all instructions before beginning project. Refer to photo for color and design placement.

1.
Cover work surface with plastic tablecloth. Set shoes on prepared surface.
2. Squeeze out Glitter bond onto foil. Using paintbrush or make-up sponge apply glue to shoes.
3. Once desired areas are covered, immediately cover with Fashion Glitter.
Optional: Use glitter bond and paint over glittered areas to seal.

Tip: Lay paper towel down underneath shoes while applying glitter, shake excess glitter onto paper towel then back into glitter bottle.
Let shoes dry completely.
