I have a pair of ballet flats. A little puppy we had chewed on one of them so now I don't wear them because you can see the bite marks. The damage wasn't too bad, just some little punctures on the surface. I was wondering if there was something I could do to repair or at the very least cloak the damage. I thought about using mod podge and a relatively stretchy fabric to cover the shoes, but I'm not sure how well that would work on the type of shoes that they are. Maybe it would be better to sew new material on? Throw glitter at them?
Anyway, they're similar to these. In black.
I haven't tried mod podge before, so I'm kind of assuming if I tried to glue material down on foldable flats it wouldn't work so well, but maybe it could keep glitter on?
I want to try and salvage them before I just give them up.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
*So, after looking around I heard mod podge kind of sucks (especially if it gets wet.) What could I use if I decide to go with glitter on the shoes? Or could I use mod podge then seal with a waterproof spray?
