Bedazzled/Bejeweled Shoes

[Nikisha421]

Hi Ladies,
I have a quick question for the ladies who did this or know the answer to this: If you bejeweled/bedazzled your shoes were did you get the rhinestones from to get the job done?

I am not a DIYer at all but I want to put a jeweled message on the bottom of my shoes so first I know that I have to get the rhinestones. Where did you get the rhinestones? How hard was it to complete the job? How long did it take?

TIA ladies, I totally appreciate all the advice....

Some of the rhinestone words are already created stickers, available at Michael's, Jo-Ann Fabrics, Hobby Lobby and even Meijer's grocery store. I bought "I DO" for my shoes and they didn't fit on the bottoms (the sole was too narrow) so I made an I DO iPhone holder!! Just peeled and stuck - super easy!!

Oh - the stickers were only a couple bucks and were in the aisle with the scrapbooking stickers. They had Bride, Groom, me + you, Just Married, I Do and a couple others - each store had a different selection.

I bought my crystals at Love to Crystal (http://www.lovetocrystal.com/). I bought the wholesale packages. I bedazzeled my shoes and it took me about 2 weeks, but I just worked on them while I was watching TV, so just for a couple of hours a night.

Here are my shoes.

2nd Time Bride...TASHA....I can't believe you are still around....shouldn't you be off packing...I can't wait to see your pictures...good luck on Tuesday...btw...Michael's two blocks away from my house because the I DO IS WHAT I WANT and my second runner up would be the ME+YOU...so nice to know that they are complete stickers less work for me...plus I just ordered my shoes...it would be so much easier to have stickers I was thinking how everyone got them on soooo straight...thanks

Sapphire...those shoes are hot and the color that I love the most...maybe I will practice and get some loose rhinestones and trying to get it done on one of my shoes...
Here are my shoes.

I've ordered several times from www.rhinestoneshop.com They have a good selection of Swarovski crystals and are very competitively priced. First class shipping is free and they ship extremely fast -- usually same day.

What did you use as an adhesive??? I am putting blue hidden mickeys on the bottom of mine and I'm not sure what to use...Suggestions???

TIA

I ended up returning the item to Michael's then buying the I DO sticker itself because I know that I could never glue those rhinestones on...

Not sure about anyone else, but I used Aleene's Jewel-It glue to do the rhinestones on my shoes.
