That's very cute. I don't see myself having the patience to stick them all on though as much as I like it! Well done you, how long did it take?

Thank you for all you nice comments, i am slightly proud of myself lol

It took me about 4 & a half hours in total, it was a little fiddly at first but you

soon get in the rhythm, the first shoe took the longest, i did the second one

in less than an hour!!

I bought the gems from ebay, i bought two packets and used both packs with very few to spare then i got out my tweezers and some superglue, but i do like them lots not bad for an old pair of shoes!

They're great!

I just used super glue and tweezers and got the crystals from Paperchase, about £2 for a bag.

Here's my attempt:

I used tweezers to pick up the gem and used super glue to stick them down,

at times it was a little tricky and i did get glue all over my finger tips lol

but worth it in the end !
