DIY: Galaxy Shoes

I got these old and ugly (according to my boyfriend) clogs which already lost a few of its studs and decided to give it a make over. I don’t know why I bought them. Must’ve been a slave to the shoe trend. Since galaxy prints are the trend these days, you know what happens next…

What you’ll need:

newspapers
black acrylic spray paint
glitters (dark blue, light blue, violet, green)
clear dry glue
foam brush
clear gloss acrylic spray
dipping cups
masking tape/clear tape
water
gloves

I just noticed, my glitters and glue… all Best Buy. Gotta love NBS!

Le poor girl can’t find a foam brush. DIY!

Instructions:

Prepare your work area by putting newspapers on the floor/table
(optional) Spray the bottom of your clogs with black acrylic spray paint to cover the wooden color. A black base will make your galaxy pop more. Let dry.
(optional) Cover the bottom part with a masking tape leaving exposed the area where you’ll be applying your galaxy. Skip this part if you have a steady hand.
In separate containers/dipping cups, mix 1 part water and 3 parts glue with one color of glitter. Make sure you make a separate cup mixture for each color of glitter you have.
With your foam brush, apply the glue+water+glitter mixture on your shoes. When you’re switching glitter colors, DON’T change/rinse your foam brush. Gradation is important in making your galaxy look realistic. It is good that your glitters mix on the shoe. Let dry.
Spray with clear glossy acrylic paint. Let dry.
