My crystal shoes - update with FLASH!

Flamin Nora, 1 June, 2011 at 20:52 Posted on Planning 0 17

After getting inspiration from others on here, I have started my own crystal shoes and thought I'd flash you all an update on where I'm at!

    I tend to do them in hourly blocks as the glue is strong and my back starts to ache so I don't know how long really!

    From the advice of other posters on here, I use flat backed crystals from a well known auction side ? and some E6000 glue. I just use a matchstick with cellotape wrapped around (technical!) to pick up each crystal.

    I ❤️ them too!!

    It feels like a suede - they are from New Look! I think the glue would stick to anything material wise though

    Have a go! Its actually quite relaxing once you get into it, and relatively cheap too!

    What size crystals did you use and how many did you order. I'm considering popping into town and buying these shoes, and if I stuff up, I've only lost £15

    So far Ive bought 6,000 crystals but I think I'm going to need more! I used 4mm and 3mm as with one size you get more gaps (another hint from another Hitcher!) ... My shoes were 19.99 and I thought the same!! I think my second shoe will be better as I've learnt as I've gone along.
