or
with this diy.
welcome to this or that. i've been doing this on occasion on my tumblr but thought it'd make a good addition to the blog. more content = good, right? while i don't usually scour the interweb for frugal alternatives to designer duds, there are already blogs dedicated to that, but on occasion i'll have an "ah ha!" moment were i know i've seen a cheaper version else where.
i have been ogling these barney's glitter boots {$595} for some time, but the boyf wallet won't allow it. i've also been lusting after these sam edelman {$160}. then i had a grand idea, a mimosa or two helped, i could use this diy to make the boots. pure genius! my only concern is that the glitter won't stick to the suede, so i may need to cut a template to secure onto {sew or glue perhaps?} the back half. if you have any insight onto how you would do this i'd like to here your thoughts. :)

I think it would work! Pure genius! Mod Podge is pretty much a form of tacky glue, so the rough suede might actually hold on to it pretty well. Maybe grab a scrap of suede from somewhere to try it out on?
