2) Glue the cut shoe onto the matt board. Make sure to put your glue onto the shoe and smooth out the glue with an old credit card.
Let the glue dry for 3-4 hours.



3) Cut the shoe out from the matt board carefully with your sharp scissors.
Also, you may want to use a craft knife.



4) If the edges of the shoe are rough, you may use a nail file to smooth them out.



5) Turn your shoe to the back, and glue your lace to the outline of the shoe. (Let dry for 1-2 Hours.)



6) Take your assorted rhinestones, and put a drop of glue on the back of the rhinestone and glue onto the shoe where the button holes are, per the picture.
Continue until each button hole is covered.
We also, put a clear rhinestone on the toe tip of the shoe to add some sparkle.



7) Cut a piece of lace size: 2 1/2" long and glue to the very top of the shoe.



8) Cut a piece of gold cord size: 2 1/2" long and glue on the top of the lace, as per the picture.
