TIP: This provides a pattern for your crystals. Move colors and sizes around as desired. Use tweezers to carefully move the crystals around the pattern.

Attach crystals with E6000® Jewelry & Bead™ glue until the center of the rubber toe is covered.

Squeeze a little of the glue out onto the scrap paper and use a toothpick to add small dabs of glue to the sides of the shoes, starting in a concentrated section up front near the toe and then more separated as you work towards the back, to create the scattered effect.

Add crystals in a vertical strip up the center of the heel on the back of the shoe.
