Buy material
Step 1

Buy some material, such as the one that Gok used from Josy Rose. You will also need clingfilm, sticky tape, scissors, leather adhesive and string.

Cover the heel with clingfilm
Step 2

Cover the heel in clingfilm to make a template for the glitter fabric. Then cover the whole heel area with sticky tape.

Draw around the heel
Step 3

Making sure that the whole heel is covered, draw around it with a marker pen - this will act as a pattern for the glitter fabric.

Score the clingfilm with a stanley knife
Step 4

Using a stanley knife, score the clingfilm down the back of the shoe and open it up. This will act as your pattern.

Create a stencil
Step 5

Cut out the pattern and use it as a stencil on the glitter fabric. Draw around the stencil, cut it out and check it fits.

Glue fabric to heel
Step 6

Apply leather adhesive to the heel. Wait until the glue goes tacky to the touch.

Place fabric on heel
Step 7

Stick the fabric to the heel and trim off any excess pieces.

Tie heels with string
Step 8

Tie some string around the heel to secure the fabric in place. Leave it to dry for five to 10 minutes.
