CHANNEL DIY DOROTHY — GLITTER-EMBELLISHED RUBY SLIPPERS
Glitter adds a mess of sparkles and a touch of whimsy to Alicia Kachmar and Margaret McGuire and Alicia Kachmar’s Ruby Slippers, a magical craft project from their book Witch Craft.
Supplies
- newspaper
- shoes with smooth surface
- plastic bags
- all-purpose spray-on adhesive
- about 1 ounce red glitter
- spray-on acrylic coating in gloss finish
Step 1
Prepare work surface with newspaper and make sure you’re in a well-ventilated area; better yet, work outside.
Step 2
Stuff each shoe with a plastic bag so that only the sections that will be covered in glitter are exposed.
Step 3
Spray half of one shoe with all-purpose spray adhesive and quickly coat with glitter (pour straight from glitter container or use spoon to sprinkle).
Step 4
Repeat on other half. Shake lightly to see if you missed any spots; respray and coat with glitter if necessary. Repeat steps 3 through 4 on the second shoe.
Step 5
Let dry half an hour. Shake out any remaining glitter onto the newspaper (collect and pour back into container, if desired).
Step 6
One at a time, cover shoes with spray-on acrylic coating.
Step 7
Let dry 30 minutes. Remove plastic bags and shake out any excess glitter.
