I coveted them.
They were soooo superly amazing!!! I knew I couldn't afford them, but during this glitter heel project I remembered that I had wanted these glittery lace chiffon heels from the movie. And I thought...
I could try and make some.
So I did.
So I did.
Amanda and I went to Goodwill and bought cheap heels to use for glitter heels.
(She wanted glitter heels too!)

I bought these tan heels for $5
And Amanda got these cute black heels for $5
We bought five different colors of Martha Stewart's fine glitter: Onyx, Hematite, Turquoise, Silver, and Tourmaline (pink).
We then set to work covering a little section of each shoe at a time with modge podge, and then glitter. We knocked off the excess onto some scrap paper so we could put it back in the bottle for more projects.

It wasn't long before our hands and the whole room was sparkly. (Oops...sorry Dad!! He's not a fan of his carpet being glittery...)
After I made my heels silver on the back of the heel and on the bottom (like in the picture) I hot glued some white lace detail to the outside edge of each shoe and then hot glued a light pink chiffon over the top to try and achieve the same look as the fantabulous shoes.
Oh, and sadly my previous hot glue gun, which I inherited from my mother who had it for who knows how long, finally was retired after about 8 years of use on top of my mom's use of it before me. Poor little thing...so worn out...
So it is now replaced with this NEW hot glue gun. So far it's served me well. :) But we'll see...it was from Walmart after all...
ANYWAYS
Here's the results!
I think they turned out pretty well for my first time making a shoe... :)
(I used THIS tutorial for making the chiffon flower.)
And here's Amanda's! (They are intense!!)
We had so much fun doing these...we decided to do some of our normal heels too! I had some black heels I've worn a LOT and they were pretty scuffed up and slightly chewed by my puppy. I had done a quick fix with some black fingernail polish to cover up the marks. Now...They are GLITTERY! :D
Amanda had some black flats that she didn't really like to wear...so we made them GLITTERY!
Well that's all for now.
We have also decided that when we die and the coroner cuts us up to see why we died, they are going to discover that our insides are lined with glitter.
