DIY - Glitter Boots

I've been lusting after the Wittner Cookies Boot in Gold Glitter for the longest time, but I just couldn't justify paying the hefty $169.95 price tag. So I decided it was time to make my own :)

Wittner Cookies Boot in Glitter Gold

After gaining inspiration from http://sarayh.blogspot.com.au on how to do it, I set out and bought my materials

You will need:

• Boots - mine are a $29.99 pair from Famous Footwear
• A paintbrush
• Newspaper
• Masking tape/sticky tape (whichever you have lying around)
• Gold glitter dust- $15 from Spotlight (mine was in a gel form so the glitter was already inside it) 

The finished product :)


The materials I used (I didn't have any masking tape so sticky tape had to substitute)





The 'before' shots of the boots









My awful job of sticky taping the edges haha





This was the first layer of the glitter dust applied, I ended up painting on six layers to get the desired glitter coverage







Steps -

• Layout some newspaper to ensure you don't make a mess
• Tape carefully around the edges of the boot that you don't want to get glittered
• Start painting on the glitter gel
• Wait to fully dry then repeat until desired coverage of glitter has been reached
• Put on your new babies and show them off! 

Hope you enjoyed this post! :)
