OK, I will admit it… I have huge feet. So Big that I find that shoe shopping is one of the more depressing things I can do. I ussually revert to buying a pair of mens shoes. Well, I decided I wanted shiny pretty work boots. This is my second pair, and I thought I would share my technique.

You will need one pair of work boots, artist gesso, acrylic artist paint, glitter glue, and a paint brush.

To make the color pop, you need to cover up the dark colored work boots with an artists gesso. One coat is more than enough.

Once the gesso is dry I do a thick coating of red acrylic paint. Red is my favorite color, but you can use what ever color you want.

Micheals craft supply carries a sparkle paint in various colors. Its a small bottle, but I have not even come close to using it all. Once the red paint has dried, apply copious amount of the sparkle glue/paint. Once this first coat is dry, look for dark patchs that have not got alot of sparkle going on. Re coat those areas intil full sparkle is in affect.

Thats it. Now go sparkle up your work boots.
