DIY Heel Fix

We have seen the scuffed shoe toe fix done many ways but I recently needed a quick shoe heel fix so here is what my solution was.

I took a pair of Calvin Klein basic black leather pumps (I just cant get rid of) that had dog chew marks and scuffs down the heel and did a glitter camouflage. 
Step 1. Cover the heal in a basic color undercoat. This will help you get a better coat when the glitter is applied, plus it filled in the dog teeth marks. Note: I used Martha Stewart's paints which where inexpensive and came in a hundred colors. I used the color sandstone for both the satin and glitter paint.
 Step 2. Apply the glitter pain over the satin coat. Wait 5 minutes in between glitter coats. It will take about an hour for everything to completely dry and beware......it took 8-10 glitter coats to get the results I was looking for so be patient!

    1. Hello,

      I wore them out for a night on the town and they held up great! The glitter paint I used did a great job curing to the heel and I have about 300 coats of paint (more like 15...haha) on the heel, so I should be ok!

    2. fabulous. I once applied red glitter to a pair of pumps. We took our grandsons to see the Wizard of Oz - I changed out of my everyday shoes in the dark theatre. At the exact moment Dorothy got the red shoes I put my feet up. Our 5 year old grandson was amazed & looked at his own feet to see if his shoes had changed aaaaw - I will never forget it
