the wonder's of mod podge - e's glitter boots

e wanted, needed, absolutely had to have these

glitter combat boots from children's place.

of course, these were put out with the back-to-school items ... in june.

e pined for them the entire summer.

i finally broke down in august & purchased them.

they were worn ... once.

the glitter, unfortunately, did not want to stay put.

much to e's dismay, she was leaving a trail of pixie dust in her wake as she stomped around.

i was not about to admit defeat to these boots though, 

especially considering the $29.95 price tag,

so i decided to mod podge them in the hopes that this would keep the glitter in tact.

i removed the laces from the boots, & pulled the tongue forward 

so that the mod podge could reach every spot & dry without touching anything.

then i covered anywhere the boot was glittery with a thick coat of mod podge.

didn't look so pretty when wet ... 

... but dried completely invisible & it worked!

for the most part, at least.

e's boots still shed a glitter or two, 

but no where as much as they did before the mod podge.

she's loving her boots again!

(terrible pic, i know - i couldn't find a better one.  i will keep looking!)

if you've used mod podge on clothing items/shoes, 
what type of projects have you come up with?
