Would these hold up over time if stored away? Wanting to do this for my wedding June 2025, but eager to do it now to get it out of the way! Worried about the glue holding over time but wondering if unworn mag help them last
No. Those rubber shoes are a different material. What I’d do is sand them a bit to knock off the shine. Use pure rubbing alcohol to clean them off. Then use supertite ninja superflex
Hello! They held up nicely until I wore them to the beach. I'm not sure if it was because they sat in the sun for awhile or the salt water, but I really didn't hold up after that :(
I ordered the 3 packets and used almost all 3 of them. If I were to do them again, I’d order 2 packs of the larger ones, 1 of each of the smaller ones. That way I don’t feel so worried about running out.
Beautiful!!!!I have so many Birkenstocks I am definitely going to bling some of mine out. Great job blessings to you
I resist the urge to bling every one of my pairs LOL I have 10 and only 1 blinged
I have pair I bought for my daughters wedding to bling, you bet I will be doing all
My others as well!!!!!

If you use the glue I used I think it will be fine. The glue doesn’t yellow over time (most glues do) and doesn’t get brittle.
This is amazing! Would you recommend doing the same process for the rubber styled birks? I’m hoping to bedazzle some for my wedding reception 😅

do you do any commission work? I have this exact pair of shoes and wanted to do this to them, but I’m afraid to! These look beautiful!!!
Hello, I do not, I'm sorry. But don't be afraid! Blinging is actually really easy to do, it just takes a lot of time.
Hi Ashlee, what is the material of these Birkenstocks you used. Leather? Suede?
I dunno. I think the white ones are leather? I'm unsure.
Ashley, how have your beautiful blinged-out Birkenstocks held up? It’s been about a year…. Do you still like the result of the glue’s holding power?

Did you prep the shoe by sanding it so the stones do not fall off?
outside of rubbing with alcohol to remove any oils, nope zero prep. I've been wearing these like crazy and zero have fallen off
Can we get the glue in the uk? If not any idea on an alternative?
Yes you can! All of supertites glue is sold world wide. (And all are non-toxic)
@@ashleefalco brilliant thank you
@@ashleefalco ouch that shipping cost tho 🙈
Did you have to seal them?
I didn’t
where can i get the empty glue bottels
These are the bottle I like: amzn.to/447cx9L
How many packets of crystals did you order/use?
I ordered the 3 packets and used almost all 3 of them. If I were to do them again, I’d order 2 packs of the larger ones, 1 of each of the smaller ones. That way I don’t feel so worried about running out.
@@ashleefalco Thank you! We're having a crafty day and this will be perfect!
