And you want to use them this year, but you are playing in gold for Carnival 2008 and last year you played in silver.
So what do you do?
Spend money on a new pair of boots that have to be broken in ALL over again?
No.
In 3 easy steps you can have the start of a gorgeous boot that you can use on the road again.
Tools needed
sandpaper
spray paint in a colour of your choice
spray adhesive
glitter in a colour to match your costume
your boots (of course)
newspaper - to cover your work area
Step 1 - Sand the boot
Using a low grade sandpaper, sand your boot and remove all glitter, hardened glue, gunk and grime.
Note: You will not be able to remove all traces of the glitter, but you may be able to see the original boot colour in parts of the boot.
Step 2 - Spray the boot
Using a tin of spray paint as your base colour, you spray the boot evenly, from the top and move down in overlapping pattern. Allow to dry.
Note: The texture of the boot will appear rough .
Step 3 - Add glitter
Using your spray adhesive spray, again spray the boot evenly, there should be a slight change in the colour of the boot. When you finish spraying the adhesive, add glitter LIBERALLY over the entire boot. Allow to dry.
And there you have it, your boots for 2008!
Good to go!
