    • @ninad2355
      @ninad2355  6 лет назад +1

      Genifer Teal hi! The glue would be best if used within a few hours. It tends to harden. After the initial session, you would simply repeat the process until the shoe is complete. :)

    • @ninad2355

      Brianne Field Hi! Suede works great as does kid leather. Avoid patent. I just cleaned the shoes with a seventh generation wipe and rubbing alcohol. Lumiere by Angelus is my preferred paint. I have more info about the whole process on my website, aPolishedBunni.com

    20:59 I was noticing that one you’re using and I guess I missed it in the beginning but is it an orange stick or are you using something special we gonna have to go back to the beginning or at least find out what you were using to put them on. Katana?

    How did you prep the shoes before strassing ? They look as though you painted them blue to start. Also- if you're stressing with blue crystals, do you need to start with a blue shoe?

    • @ninad2355
      @ninad2355  3 года назад +1

      Prep depends largely on the material. These were blue glitter but the glitter was scraped and crumbling so I lightly sanded the loose parts off and painted them. I always recommend painting or starting with a shoe color that compliments the crystal.

    • @ninad2355

      that's going to depend on the texture you are going for, your shoe style and size. I think I used a total of about 85 gross and these and am a size 38.5. I usually go with sizes ss5-15. 1 gross of the 16, 10 gross of as 12 and the rest are all 9, 7 and 5; leaning heavier towards the smaller sizes! Hope that helps! Happy Strassing!

I love the texture you did so plan to get more of the smaller sizes and a few bigger ones. Thanks again!

  • @blinksbill1138
    @blinksbill1138 3 года назад +1

    I like that you used a high quality shoe to begin with that was just starting to show some wear and tear, it’s better than using a shoe you haven’t broken into that is cheap. It give it another life . However the placement of the crystals and the choice of glue is driving me crazy. There is too much of the shoe showing through. I am probably a little more experienced in this, and would’ve made them fit better.
