I thought these were really cute for my wedding
I Do Shoe Appliques

And I was going to get them but then I thought maybe I could make mickey ears silhouette to put on the bottom of the shoes instead? Maybe in blue
Anyone have any idea how I'd go about doing this w/o them falling off and me possibly slipping on them? LOL

Do you want something permanent or removable?

Go to your biggest craft store (Hobby Lobby, Michael's, etc) and I'm sure you can find either Mickey heads made out of rhinestones or rubber. I'd super glue them to the bottoms of the shoes.

omg...that takes me back to when friends of ours got married,, the guys painted "Help Me" on the bottom of the Grooms shoes ( he had no idea)...go to Home Depot and get the paint chip samples in the mickey head shapes...tons of colors, just super glue it..get some to practice with and see how long they last and if it makes the shoes too slippery or not.

If you wanted to use rhinestones to make it, you could cut out a stencil of a Mickey head, outline it onto your shoe, and then use glue dots to fill in with the rhinestones. It would be a much bigger pain to remove than the sticker though.

You could also use adhesive vinyl in the shape of a mickey head. It would be easy to do with a vinyl cutter, but if you don't know someone who has one you could just trace the image onto a sheet of vinyl and cut it out with a craft knife. Then you could glue the rhinestones onto the vinyl (I'd use small glue dots), and you will have essentially exactly the same thing in your link.

It doesnt matter if its removable or not, I probably won't wear the white bridal shoes every again unless I get dyeable ones and dye them at some point.
and it'd want the bling rhinestones.
So you think they won't come off with the glue dots?

Glue dots are pretty darn sticky! As long as you cleaned the sole of the shoe really well so that there was no dust or anything, I'm pretty sure you'd have a hard time getting them off! I used glue dots to do a project with kids recently, we were glueing little jewels onto felt, one of the kids stuck a jewel to one of my glass ramekins, and I had to pry that sucker off! And things don't usually stick to glass that well.

what aisle in the craft store would the glue dots be next to? I don't know if i have ever seen them

They would be with the glue. They come in boxes, and the glue dots are on a long strip of paper that rolls out of the box. (a little like candy buttons)
They are awesome!!
