★ unique shoes.

 D.I.Y SPARKLY ONE-STARS


Do you bored your OLD CONVERSE? If YES let adapt your converse to look new and be unique!


Here's What You'll Need

- Converse
- Fabric glue
- Crayola paint brushes 
- Silver glitter 
- Fine glitter in black
- Painter's tape
- Iron-on silver pyramid studs 




  

STEPS 

1.Squeeze a large amount of fabric glue into a cup or plate. Tape down the sides of your sneakers with your painter's tape. Using a paintbrush, apply a moderately thick layer of glue to the tongue of your shoe.

2.Place your sneaker in an open box and sprinkle a generous amount of glitter over your glue.  
3.Once your tongue is almost dry, remove the tape from the sides of your shoe and apply a generous layer of glue to your sides. It's best to do one at a time because the glue dries pretty fast.
4.Sprinkle your larger silver glitter and shake to remove excess.
5.Shake your shoe and allow the black fine glitter to settle and discard any unwanted silver glitter. If you missed any spots, now is your chance to add a little more glue and fill them in. 
6.To create a faux steel toe,  used small iron on pyramid stus
7.Paint a generous amount of glue on the rubber toe of your sneaker. You'll have to work quickly because it dries fast
8.Begin adding your studs at the center where the rubber meets the glitter and work out from there to either of the edges. Then create a sort of T by placing studs in a row down to the tip toe of your shoe and work out from there
9.Hoping to get a dark gray, I dyed my shoelaces black with Rit Dye. However, the dye barely took at all and left the laces a very light gray.
