DIY Miss Piggy's $595 Pink Glitter Heels

by Meredith

Miss Piggy has expensive taste that I love. To promote her newest Muppets movie, Miss Piggy charmed her way into the footwear aisle of Saks Fifth Avenue.  The fashionable pig has inspired an envy inducing pair of heels, the Jerome C. Rousseau for Walt Disney Signature Diva Glitter Pump, for sale in January.  The only issue?  The official movie merchandise sells for $595.  So, how can you DIY for less?

 This is super easy and a great way to rejuvenate a pair of worn out heels.  For this version I found an example of someone who used a worn-out pair of bright pink heels.

What you need:

• High heels
• Glitter
• Acrylic glue
• Sandpaper
• A paint brush
• Spray-on lacquer (find it amongst the spray paints)

How to:

1.  Clean the shoes, and then lightly sand them to rough up the surface so the glue sticks properly.

2.  Mix the glue and glitter together in a container.

3.  Paint the shoe with the glitter glue.

4. Sprinkle the shoes with extra glitter to fully coat them. Don't worry about getting glitter inside the shoes, just clean them up once the glue has dried.
5. Once you are happy with the glitter and it has dried, spray the shoes with a coat of spray on lacquer. This will stop the glitter from falling of.
