Hi, I am Olly Murray and welcome back to my Videojug series Fix Up Look Sharp. This episode
I am going to be showing you how to transform a grotty old pair of heels into something
special, like this. Ooooh!
[Music]
Right. All you need for glitter heels is an old pair of heels that need a bit of a makeover,
a paintbrush, some scissors, some PVA glue, masking tape and some glitter. You can have
any color glitter, but, today, I am just going to be using silver.
The first thing we are going to be doing is masking off the bit we do not want to cover
in glitter. So, just grab your masking tape and you can, just, sort of, go for it. But
you just need to follow the seam around. Be quite careful, I mean, it does not matter
if you get masking tape over the rest of the shoe, but, you just want to make sure that
is a clear edge around the heel, because, that is why it will look so good, that just
the heel is covered in glitter.
I am just going to smooth it around there. And also, just remember, you do not really
need to use your mouth to tear off. You can always use a pair of scissors. I just find
it quite easy. There you go.
And then, I am just going to do underneath as well, because I am going to do the whole
shoe and I do not want it to get on the sole. So, there you
go! Now you are ready to start glueing.
Right, so we are just going to put the masking tape aside and we are just going to grab a
little bowl and fill it full of glue, so, just, really, kind of, squeeze it all out
because this is going to make life so much easier for you.
I also recommend putting a bit of newspaper down so you do not cover your Mum's table
in glitter and glue. That will not be fun.
And then, we are just going to grab a paintbrush and just really go for it.
Paint all over the whole heel. And, try and get it nice and even. You do not want any
gloopy bits but a really thick layer, because we want the whole heel to be covered in glitter.
So, I am going to just paint that whole side, like that.
Right. Once the whole heel is covered in glue, here comes the fun bit, you basically just
grab your bowl of glitter and sprinkle over the whole thing.
Just sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle a really thick layer.
So, cover the whole thing in glitter and do not worry if it goes on the newspaper because,
actually, you can reuse that and get it really, really glittery. So, the more glitter, the
better. So, just keep pouring and then you can put that aside to dry and you can reuse
the glitter that has gone on the table for the next shoe.
Right. So then, I am going to take my other heel and do exactly the same thing with the
masking tape, covering it with glue and the glitter. And then I am going to leave them
both to dry and see what they look like tomorrow.

Right. And here are some I made earlier, which are definitely dry. And then, all you need
to do is, really carefully, just peel off the masking tape. Really nice, straight line.

And you will see that it has kept your shoe, underneath, really clean, and glitter free.
And there you have it. Your glitter heels for girls night out.
Guys, thanks for watching Fix Up Look Sharp with me, Olly Murray. Now, I have loved this
little project, turning something really old into something pretty and special. Now, if
you guys have any ideas, share the love. Write some comments and I will see what I can do.
I am sure I can make anything come to life. We will see you next week when I will be turning
some old tights into something pretty snazzy. You will not want to miss that. See you then.
Bye.
