OK, so you've probably guessed by now that I'm a bit of a DIY nut, and like any self respecting (heart-still-beating) female out there I kinda have a thing for shoes.
So you can imagine my delight when I saw just how easy it is to Miu Miu-ify my favourite heels, all thanks to my DIY guru over at honestlywtf.com. Enjoy!
HOW TO MAKE EM
You’ll need:
a pair of heeled shoes
40-50 large and medium (10-15 mm) multi-shaped rhinestones
30-40 small (3-6 mm) round rhinestones
E-6000 glue
tweezers
small dish or container
toothpick
flat nose pliers (optional)
How to do it:
1 - Squeeze some glue into a small dish or container. Pick up one of the larger rhinestones with the tweezers, dip the backside into the glue.
2 - Press the stone into the top of the center of the heel. Add several other large stones around the top, gradually working your way down to the middle of the heel with smaller stones. Go back and add small round stones in bare spots. There is no right or wrong way to creating the pattern – have fun with it!
A tip: the smaller round stones will require the tiniest bit of glue. Dip a toothpick into the glue, dab it onto the backside of the stone and apply to the shoe.
3 - Repeat the same steps on the other shoe . . .
4 - And you’re bejeweled!
