After changing my mind about 5X with other shoes, i decided to make my own. I bought dyeables shoes with the intention of dying them. But i think my newest idea is better! I am in love with them. Its taken me about 2 weeks to get one shoe done. Thousands of crystals later here it is!

    Thanks.  I bought my crystals off of ebay. They are not real swarovski though. I bought majority from the seller island*girl*crystal. I used the clear AB crystals. 

    I bought the shoes off of zappos. They are dyeables that came with a broach type thing on the toe. I removed that.  I probabaly put close to 4-5K crystals on the first shoe. I used sizes 6ss, 10ss, 16ss, and 20ss.
    Totally a lot of work, but i kinda of enjoy it.. Takes my mind off of wedding planning for a bit!

    I got mine from amazon and they aren't from swarovski because those things were WAY to much! What kind of glue did you use? some girls have recommended e6000? is that what you used?

    You could sell those babies!  If you ever need to make money on the side, remember that.
