Okay people, you are going to love this one if you're a fan of sparkly glittery things! We wanted a way to improvise our old boring sandals into something spectacular and yes, we found one! It's so inexpensive, it literally cost us 33 bucks! Seriously!
Let me tell you how it all started. I saw these stunning flats online at J-Crew and fell in love with it. Simplistic design, and the glitter strap demands your attention instantly. Now for the price tag, 98 dollars! That's around 5 grand! So we found a way to do it in less than 50 bucks. :D
What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments! :D

J-crew glitter sandals |
My version |
Materials required :
1) Your choice of Sandals (Mine is a year old pair from Catwalk).
2) Gold or silver powdered glitter(10 grams for Rs 8 , I used only 5 gms for 2 pairs of sandals)
3) Clear transparent glue( Rs 5)
4) Clear transparent nail polish (Mine was for Rs 20)
Method :
2) Apply glue over the strap you want to improvise.
3) Sprinkle the glitter and then dust off the extra after a minute or so.
4) Once dry, apply a coat of transparent nail polish generously all over the strap. Once dry.
And voila, you have a brand new pair of glittery sandals! Take that, J-crew!
