DIY

So, first day of school today till 12 then had nothing to do till 6+ while waiting for agm so like we went   big bookshop to find glitter cause like i was thinking about how i can pimp my shoes since like it's kinda scratched here and there. 

Just nice, i saw this picture on tumblr yesterday and like i liked it. So, this was something that i'm going for, like an inspiration. It's like very anyhow and like it's at the sole, so it's kinda cool. It's like not attracting too much attention and like i can still wear normally and like don't care since it's at the bottom. 
 So my DIY began!
Don't follow mine though LOL
normal dr martens
taping up the sides.
No soul for the sole. there's a little glitter that i tried with the white glue + glitter method but like decided to opt for a quicker method. 
GLITTERS!
Spread out evenly on like a rubber, plastic surface so it doesn't tear if you use paper. 
Add in some pastel
Spray mount the sole of the shoes, then start dabbing it with glitters!
1 shoe trannified.
2nd shoes trannified. 
Use fixatives, go over a few layers. dry every once layer. let it dry.
tadaaaaaaa
oh i'm sorry i dropped into a pool of fabulous~

I realize that this method although fast but like it sticks onto some dirt easily, maybe cause i didn't let it dry as long as it should be. Or like the glitter tends to not shimmer anymore at the parts where you step the most. 
I think maybe i should have went over a coat of white glue after the whole process. I don't know if it will be better? haven't tried but i plan to, i think.

I think i achieved the picture inspiration above, like not bad what. except his is like colorful mine is mostly silver. But like i don't think mine will last that long, so like after it wears off, i shall try another method. I'm happy with the outcome anyway, like even though it might not shimmer in the light anymore in a few days, at least i had my tranny days. I. AM. GLITTERIFIED!!
