So of course I am going to hit you all with quite a few DIY's because being
styl + ish has no boundaries! Turn those old heels into new dazzling heels with just a few tweaks. Follow these simple steps below to create a lavishly sexy heel in as little as one hour tops!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
simple used chunky heeled pumps
(that you do not care to experiment with, the chuncky heel allows for a better coverage to apply jewels)
4-6 packages of bejeweled stickers
(can be purchased at Michael's Arts and Crafts or Hobby Lobby, about $1 each pack)
fabric glue
tweezers and/OR jewelry grippers
paper towels
Step ONE
Fold one paper towel sheet into 1/4th size and apply a dime sized amount of your fabric glue onto the towel. Take into account how you would like to place the jewels onto your heel. Firmly set your first heel into place. Take one jewel from sheet. (notice that the jewels are stickers initially and may be a better purchase because they can create a better reinforcement/if you are not able to find actual stickers other jewels can be used instead) Pick up jewel with your tweezer or jewelry gripper and dip sticky surface into fabric glue.
Step TWO
(PHOTO SHOWN PROCESS ALREADY STARTED)
Carefully place jewel on heel where you would like. I purchased a few gold and crystal jewels to create a silver and gold look on my shoe's heel.
Continue this same process throughout.
This process can take a minimum of 1 hour to construct but up to 3 hours depending on your products.
(PHOTO SHOWN PROCESS HALFWAY FINISHED)
FINALE
The heels of your pumps once completed must dry for 24 hours before wear.
Please make sure you are not in a rush to wear once you have completed your shoe.
Finished Product!!!!!
It was very simple I said right?
