Equipment
- Tweezers
Ingredients
- Cute Sneakers – for kids and adults any color or size you like!
- Star rhinestones
- Regular rhinestones
- Fabric glue
- 2 Cute ribbon bows
- White puffy paint {optional}
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Sneakers
- Before starting, clean the sneakers well with a soft cloth or towel to remove any dust. This will help the glue stick better and make sure your rhinestones stay in place.
Step 2: Apply Glue for the Rhinestones
- Using your fabric glue, apply small dabs across the front of the shoes where you want to place the star rhinestones.
- Make sure to leave space between each drop for a clean, organized look.
Step 3: Add Star Rhinestones
- With your tweezers, carefully place a star rhinestone on each glue drop. Press down lightly to make sure they stick.
- Glue as many as you like on that area.
Step 4: Add Regular Rhinestones to the Back
- Now for the back of the shoes, repeat the same process but this time with the regular round rhinestones. You can add as many as you want, creating your own pattern.
- I used lilac rounded rhinestones to add some bling bling.
Step 5: Optional Puffy Paint
- If you want to add more detail, use white puffy paint along the central seam of the sneakers. It adds a nice, finished touch, though this step is totally optional!
- I didn’t have a steady hand that day so my line is not steady but I still liked the whole result.
Step 6: Glue the Ribbon Bows
- Lastly, add the ribbon bows on top of the shoes, just above the last line of the laces.
Step 7: Let Dry
- Let the shoes dry in a cool, ventilated space for at least 24 hours to ensure everything is secure.
- The glue should clear out so it won’t be visible.
- Done! Your Star Rhinestone Shoes are ready to be wore!!!
