    Made a start and have finished the FRONT of one of my Ivory satin pumps-its come out really well considering the style on the front of the shoe!

    Unsure now if to just do the fronts or cover the whole shoe??

    Thanks hun! I wasnt sure if to just do the fronts or cover the whole shoe, they sparkle sooo much they are so pretty :) Im really happy so far! Going to need ALOT more crystals, I dont think 4000 will cover a pair of shoes fully.

    It was quite difficult but thats due to the style on the fronts of the shoe, it has criss cross type material so made it hard to cover and make sure all gaps were filled-They are packed with crystals!

    Once ive done these Im going on the look out for a pair of heels for my wedding, these will be for the evening xx

    Now I actually like the pattern on the front with the criss cross etc so I would of either just done them or left them and do the rest.

    They still look amazing though I'm jealous of your patience.

    They are sooo sparkly! Have finished half of one shoe, it has taken hours but will be more than worth it when they are done! Ive ordered more crystals and glue! Nearly ran out of the 2mm-around 50 or less left out of 1000!

    Got my crystals etc to do my shoes, just gotta wait until my arm cast is off before I can do mine. Been wanting to make mine for MONTHS now, something always comes up to stop me lol

    I have to say they look a million times better NOW than when you jsut had the fronts covered!

    Yes I finished them awhile ago now-think I posted a picture the finished pair on here!

    It took around 6/7 hours id say but the fronts werent the easiest to do because of the knotted style on them..On a plain pair id imagine it would take less time! You get quicker the more you do them xx
