Very pretty shoes. Thank you for sharing. I like the look of the 5ss to line the shoe. I want to do some but I was thinking 10ss to line so it was good to have a visual reference.

You need to continue your RUclips channel with content and other DIY ideas. You are gifted at making things look doable. Plenty of You Tubers make good money off their channels.
Deborah Gonzales thanks Deborah! I am working on a diy series for my photography BunniDevereaux.com right now but definitely want to add more tutorials in the future!
I am going just spray paint the bottom of my shoes red and buy shoes at Value Village. I am a single mom on a budget.
Gracy Jones there is the red paint and sealer available on Amazon used to restore the L soles. Not expensive. Love your attitude! One doesn’t need to spend a great deal of $$$$ to look expensive!
Marie posted my suggestion. Look for the red paint on ebay. It works great I hear!
Gracy Jones lol that sounds about right
Gracy Jones arc value village is the best thrift store for so many things.
I would like to find heels in woman’s 11.
Did you end up making a sparkly shoe either way?
Oh I miss Value Village. Are you a vancouverite?
So gorgeous can’t wait to see more videos like this 🩷💚💚💚
Omg I'm new to your Channel and I love love your work. In also new to DIY.
Bernice Stocker thank you! Welcome!
Great tutorial! Gorgeous! Thank you! Subscribed!
marie-elena Waldrip thanks Marie!
You did an amazing job Nina
Thank you!
Ohh I love the part about armor and making too stiff, so space out and not too tight.
Very nice! 👍🏼 love it
Thank you! 😊
I just discovered strassing and loved your video. Where did you get the attachment you screwed into the plunger?
On Amazon. Just search "Lure Lock Syringe Tip"
Watching a few videos. Some great tips here. How long does the glue last in the syringe? And what happens from one session of gluing to the next?
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. :)
finally, found the tutoial needed.thanks How many crystals on each size did you get in total?
Rolando Trejo it will vary by style and shoe size. I ended up using over 20,000 on this pair.
holly s_____😱 that's a lot
Inexpensive? Start with a Louboutin? haha not expensive at all! But i love your attitude and attention to detail. Great tips and can't argue with the results. I hope you post more gret ideas. These look like they came directly from Louboutin with the stones already. Well done.
Jonah Wilkins I actually snagged this pair for a great deal via consignment and have gotten lucky on some auctions with authentic pairs to strass as low as $89! However I agree, typically they are pretty pricey if you don't bargain hunt!
Thanks for the compliment! 😘
Great podcast great results it's great leaders to be able to do that very tedious looking.
Miss G Booker it is certainly time consuming and labor intensive. The results are so worth it though!
I wish the focus of your camera was more clear because they are soo cute!!
I so want to do this but I don't know if my ADD will allow it. 😕
Hi, where did you buy your stones? wich size did you use?
Jean-Vincent D'Hennezel ss5-ss20. I recommend DreamtimeCreations.com
Where did you get you crystals from? Because I’ll need a lot to cover my shoes!
DreamtimeCreations.com
How did you prime the shoe before starting? Is there a paint that works best? What material is best for strassing? Kid, patent, suede? Thank you for sharing!
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
Thank you so much! Excited to start my first pair!
@@ninad2355 I'm glad you said this I have a patent shoe that's scuffed and was going to try this.
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?
Jody Hakala it's like the Katana but much cheaper. It's called a wax dop stick.
This is a great tutorial. Very detailed and I'm learning a lot. However, I can hardly hear her. By chance as anyone else experiencing the same thing.
Sorry about that! Not sure if it was my sound balance as this was my first video.
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?
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.
This is the best diy on Crystal application. Where did you purchase the swarovski crystals?
Antonia Rigopoulos thank you! Dreamtime Creations
Do you paint the shoes before the rhinestones?
If the color doesn't complement the crystal I pick I do.
What kind of paint do you use to color the shoe before you strassed them?
I use leather paint usually. I prefer the Angelus brand.
How many of each crystal did you use for your shoes? What size were the shoes? I’m trying to get an idea of how many I need for my 36.5 shoes! Thank you so much for putting together this video!
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!
@@ninad2355 thank you so much! One more question, you said in the video about 20k crystals, is that per shoe? If my math is correct, that’s about 28 gross or you think is closer to that 85? I love the texture you did so plan to get more of the smaller sizes and a few bigger ones. Thanks again!
@@pcolindres2583 Hi there! 20K per pair should be plenty for a size 36.5! I usually only get 10-15 gross of the 12s and 2 gross of the 16s and the rest are all ss5-9! I hope that helps!
How long did it takes for you to put all the crystals?
About 10 hrs
How much did u spend on the crystals and how many did the shoe need
Naz Far about 20,000 crystals across the 5 different sizes. Depending on the shoe size and crystal color you pick $350-$600
Nina D u must be crazy I didn’t spend that much ur hella dumb to
Naz Far better quality crystals cost more. Good luck!
@@nazfar6700 everyone has a different budget. Maybe this fit her budget. If you go out and buy Swarovski Loubitton, they can cost you over $1000
Naz Far says the one who believes in 5G 😂
how many hrs or days does it take you to do a pair of heels?
Sydney Humphrey my first pair took about 40hrs but now I have it down to less than 20.
Where did you buy the crystals from?
OliviaM dreamtime creations
Você é muito linda
What size crystals did you use?
ss5-ss16
Will this work on a suede shoe?
Yup! It actually holds better on suede because of the texture.
Where do you buy your crystals?
I usually get my crystals from Dreamtime Creations.
Great detailed instructions! Thank you. I would recommend leaving out the music transitions next time. The volume was much louder than your voice so I had to keep turning the volume up & down.
Priscilla -Femme la FIT I totally agree. First time video mis-steps. 🖤
The link no longer exists! Bummer😪😪😪😪😪 Please source your crystals. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thank you! 😻😻😻😻😻😻
Valarie Edwards I recommend DreamtimeCreations for your crystals.
''ONE ETERNITY LATER''
Lol truth
Painstaking. Don't think I could do this. Maybe if I use glitter.
Definitely takes a lot of patience and dedication!
Alright Here i am CPFM Nike dunk SB 👀
Can't believe you're not wearing a respiratory mask or gloves, that glue is really carcinogenic. I wear non-vented, sealed goggles as well because the vapour also enters the system through the mucous membrane of the eyes.
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.
Thanks for the input. The spacing is intentional as it assures the shoe has some flexibility for the wearer. I've strassed over 300 pairs in my day but as this is art, there's lots of room for personalization.
Still not really clear. It sound like your speaking from far away.
Great visuals and content
Unfortunately I think it was how I recorded the video. Apologies! It looks like closed captions work. Maybe that will help!
Please can I use glue gun to make this
Darling lovely results, but too much bla bla bla bla bla blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....
