DIY Gold-jeweled toes for Slip-ons

Being a not so sporty person (huge understatement), I also don't own a lot of comfy shoes. All those sneakers and slip-ons don't really go with my style most of the days. But, when we were on our honeymoon in Pärnu, we happened to see a sales booth selling these super comfy plimsolls for just 13€, so naturally we bought like 4 pairs (I'm not kidding). Friends, these are slippers, for realz. They should not be an acceptable shoe, but they are. And, they come in every color. I've been wearing them like they are for a few times, but I just had that nagging feeling that something was missing. And, if you know me, and I think you do by now, you know I had to give them my own little twist.

Introducing, golden toes! I had some embellishment stones in my stash and used them to jewel my shoe tips, so that everyone can spot my bling a mile away.

BEFORE 

 Want in on the sparkly toe trend? (which I just created, ha!) Here's how:

 You'll need:
1) Shoes to make over
2) round and square golden embellishment stones or rhinestones
3) Super glue (E6000 works best)
4) Toothpicks

The steps are super easy.
1) Just take a stone, add some glue to the back of it with a toothpick (makes the application so much easier), and place it in the center of the shoe tip. This does not have to be the exact center, I totally eye-balled mine.
2) Start glueing more round stones on both sides of the center stones. I added 4 on either side, but if you have more stones, you could cover a bigger portion of the shoe tip.
3) When your done with the first row, start at center again and do a second and third layer. Continue until you have the whole shoe tip covered in round stones.
4) At that point, switch to the rectangle stones and place them in between the round ones in a diamond placement.
5) Last, add a row of rectangles in between the diamonds (see picture below).
6) Repeat with the other shoe.

I simply love how these turned out. A comfy shoe disguised as a stylish shoe. That I can do!

Have fun crafting, my friends!
