DIY Wedding Shoes!!

Lets be real, most girls getting married would love love love to be able to where some blinging Louboutins on their wedding day, but with a hefty price tag of $1,000 and up its just not gonna happen for most. Well Ladies, I have a great idea that will give you glitzy shoes. It takes A LOT of time and A LOT of patience but it can be done. All you need is: 

*Gemtack 
*Tweezers 
*Rhinestones 
*a pair of satin shoes (whatever color your prefer) 
*light acrylic paint in any color
*sponge brush 
*masking tape 
*Lots and Lots of patience 

 Use the masking tape to tape off the sides of the sole so that paint does not get on the actual shoe. Once that is done, use the sponge brush to paint on the light acrylic paint to the sole of the shoes. Be sure to cover the back of the heel as well. Let dry over night.



Now for the bling, I have blinged out entire shoes for people and I have blinged out just the heel to give it a little flair, its totally up to you. You can also use any size rhinestones you want. Feel free to mix and match. 

Start at the bottom of the heel. 
Step 1:Draw a horizontal line from one side of the heal to the other with the glue. 
Step 2: Place rhinestones along the line. 
Step 3: repeat steps 1 and 2 until you reach the top of the heal 
Step 4: (only if you want to bling the whole shoe) Draw a vertical line of glue and place rhinestones along line of glue 
Step 5: repeat step 4 until shoe is completely covered.



 Its a very tedious project but so worth it and it will save you tons of money. I have been able to do every pair for under $100. Any questions...feel free to leave a comment!
