Craft vs Poly- You can use either craft or poly glitters on shoes. Craft is not appropriate for shoes that are going to be in the sun for long periods of time or are going to be washed in a washing machine. Polyester can handle sun and water much better than craft glitter.
The video mentions a couple of points that we want to make sure hit home-
1. If you put too many seal coats over your glitter, the sparkle will dim.
1a. Too much sealer will also change the color of the glitter!
2. If you have a flexible shoe or one that stretches, be sure to use a glue/sealer like Aleenes Stretchable Flexible Glue. Mod Podge will give a bit, but it is not meant for serious flexing.
