DIY Haus of Price Bedazzled Shoes!







So, I am finally uploading this tutorial! Sorry it has taken so long-I've just been so busy with my portfolio and school work. But, now I am going to be uploading DIY tutorials and handmade posts each week, so keep checking back for more ways to be creative and fashionable! :)

Anyway, on to the shoessss! So, this past summer, I became enamored with Haus of Price. I saw their shoes on karmaloop.com and solestruck.com, and I neeeeeded them! Unfortunately they were about 300$ dollars out of my price range, but I knew they would be such a good DIY. All I needed was some shoes and gems. Then I stumbled upon a post on Chictopia. Another girl had also made bedazzled shoes, also inspired by Haus of Price (see her version here)!  I messaged her and asked where she had gotten the rhinestones. She said she got them at Hobby Lobby, but I was able to find mine at Michael's. JoAnn's also sells them! As for the shoes, I got grey suede wedges. You can choose any shoe to decorate just be aware of where there might be creases/folds or anywhere they the gems might fall off. Also, I like to choose a shoe that is lighter colored because the gems look brighter. For the glue, I got a cement glue from Walmart. There is also cement glue at craft stores.

Okay, so, supplies:

-Shoes
-Gems
-Cement Glue
Step One: Gather materials.
Step Two: Take a gem and place glue on the back.
Step Three: Place gem on shoe. It is easiest to start from an edge.
Step Four-End: Keep gluing gems on until the shoes are covered! Enjoy your new, fantastically bedazzled shoes! :)

Hope you all like this and that it helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
