What You'll Need:
Black heels (found at Old Navy)
Gold paint
Masking tape
Paint brush
Superglue
Assorted crystals
First, paint the heels of the shoes gold. (Hint: use masking tape to section the heel off from the rest of the shoe, so the paint line is even). Allow to dry overnight, depending on the type of paint you use.
Next, organize your crystals and decide the design you want. Lanvin's were very haphazardly placed, so that's the look I tried to channel.
Use the superglue to attach the crystals to the shoe heel. Be sure to cover all four sides of your heel if it's squared.
Slip on your heels and they'll put a little extra jazz in your step!xx,CC

Thanks Farren! So glad you enjoy the blog!
My goodness, I wanted those shoes ever since I first saw them! This is a great idea, and I absolutely love DIY projects.
Do you have a weapon of choice for jewelling things? I never liked the Bedazzler because they look too fake. I use the Kandi Kane because they were sold with Swarovski crystal appliques, but the annoying thing is that you have to stick them on one at a time - but that leaves less room for mistakes. It takes a lot of time and patience, though!
you are amazing and your projects so goody good!!!!! ;)
xtine - I usually jewel things using Krazyglue and my fingers, and/or a toothpick (for the judith leiber clutch and smaller crystals). I've actually never used a Bedazzler. I don't think you can beat the quality of individually placed crystals, so attempt the project when you have lots of time on your hands!
That was so rad.. i need to get to this assp///!
