    Ah thankyou. I wasn't going to wear these as it was my first attempt but they have turned out great and they are real leather and so comfy, so it would be pointless buying more. I'm now on to blinging up everything in the wardrobe ha ha xx

    They are gorgeous! Did you buy satin shoes or leather shoes? What did you use to stick them? They look really well done!

    I had not thought much about wedding shoes until I saw your last post with just the one shoe and as soon as i saw it I thought WOW i must have sparkly shoes!!! What colour were these shoes before they became sparklified?

    I might have a go at doing my own, I have no patience though, if i go wrong i will probably just give up!

    I have added some photos to show you what the shoes looked like before. They were plain white leather rocket dog shoes. The only picture I have is when I had crystalized the first shoe. I would definately use white or ivory shoes as you cannot see any gaps whatsoever but might if you use a different colour shoe. Leather or satin is best shoe to use. I used flat black rhinestones and glue from hobbycraft. Hope this helps a bit xx

    OK.. after seeing these shoes last night I now cannot stop thinking about them!

    @Sparklybride what size crystals have you used? I'm definitely tempted to do my own version of these they are fab!

    I bought clear flat back rhinestones from ebay. I got 750 5mm, 1000 4mm, 1000 3mm and 1000 2mm for tiny gaps. The glue was a fabric glue from hobbycraft and was about £3.50 xx
