Maggie's Ways: Vegas Hit & Miss

Hey All! Sorry for the short delay of my post today, but after a quick trip to Las Vegas over the weekend, I was in need of some major sleep. Now, that I'm rested and ready to charge the day, I thought that I would hop to it and get my post done for the day.

Last week, with anticipation of going to Vegas, I worked on a project that turned out great, but ended with a not-so-big-bang. It started off with these babies*super cute, patten leather black pumps.* I had gotten the idea from a blog that I read frequently, here. Since I had planned on wearing a black dress, and was going to Vegas----the city of glitz and glamor----I need my shoes to pop!

With a quick trip to the craft store I pick up the supplies that I needed, and started the ultimate shoe transformation!

I first spray painted them a metallic gold, just to make sure that you wouldn't see the black shoe under the glitter. I actually love the shoes in just the metallic gold!

Using the Mod-Podge glue I brushed on a small layer, working section by section, and sprinkling on the glitter. I used a shoe box lid to work with the glitter so in the end you don't have a total mess.

After applying of the glitter, I finished with a spray sealer, to lock in the glitter!

I was so excited to wear my shoes when I got to Vegas! When I put them on, I had noticed that they seemed a little stiff. But being the total girl that I am, I stuffed my foot right into them.........

And then I noticed.......cracking! My heart sank into my stomach! Through the rest of the evening they started to crack even more and peel. See how cute my girl friend Jessica's shoes look-----LOVE!

By the end of the night---boy was it a long night of fun--my VEGAS shoes were glittery toast! Despite the end result, the shoes were still fabulous and in the end no one was looking at my shoes---their eyes were glued to the beautiful bride!
