Lady glues 50 shiny plastic gold coins on a black heel. This front porch decor is wild!

Transform a simple black heel into a whimsical leprechaun boot with shiny plastic gold coins. This DIY project is perfect for adding a touch of charm and magic to your front porch decor, especially around St. Patrick's Day. The striking contrast of the black heel with the glistening gold coins creates a standout piece that is sure to catch the eye of anyone passing by.

Place this leprechaun boot near the front door on a welcome mat or amongst potted plants for a playful touch. It pairs well with greenery and gold accents, and can be complemented by other St. Patrick's Day decorations such as shamrock garlands or a wreath. The boot can also serve as a unique centerpiece on a festive porch table setup.

1 black high heel shoe

Cover your workspace with newspaper to protect it from any glue spills.

Put on disposable gloves to keep your hands clean while handling glue.

Start by applying a small amount of adhesive glue to the back of a plastic gold coin.

Press the coin onto the heel of the shoe, starting from the bottom and working your way up.

Continue gluing coins in a pattern that covers the entire surface of the heel, ensuring each coin is securely attached.

Allow the glue to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 24 hours for full strength.

Once dry, inspect the boot to ensure all coins are firmly attached and make any necessary adjustments.

For a more colorful twist, use silver or multicolored coins instead of gold. You can also add green ribbon or small faux shamrocks around the base of the heel for extra festivity. If you have multiple shoes, consider creating a pair of boots to frame your front door. Additionally, you can experiment with different types of shoes, such as boots or sandals, to create varied looks.
