Under The Sea: Little Mermaid Inspired Glitter Shoes

Did you like my long title?  Alright.  As part of my etsy team, Blogging Business Artisans, I'm challenged to create a project on theme each month.  This month's theme was "under the sea."  I channeled my inner Ariel and made some green glitter shoes.  I might not have a flipper, but I can have green shoes, right?

I started with a pair of black shoes I've had for several years.  They are getting nice and worn away in the front.  Aren't I so stylish?

I then used Mod Podge and several different green glitters to cover the shoes.  I started by Mod Podging in patches and dumping on green glitter.  I tried to use my lighter glitter towards the front and my darker glitter in back. 

I also added on some glitter paint I had to give it an extra dimension of glitterocity (the technical term for it). 

I kept adding glitter until everything was covered and then I sealed it with another layer of Mod Podge.

The overall effect is a splotchy-ombre effect.  What did I learn while making this project?  That I missed my calling as a foot model.
