    My girls would love sparkly shoes!

  21. rosie says:

    (I tried posting and it gave me an error message, if double posting feel free to delete one)
    I fractured my right ankle and my orthopedist has not cleared me to wear heels. Having this to play with will make the wait shorter and better (and shinier!!)

  22. Dawn says:

    I have been losing weight and replacing my tent sized clothes with more fitted items from thrift stores – these need some serious bling for me to rock out in.

  23. Joanne says:

    GREAT tutorial! I never thought I could work with such small crystals, but you have inspired me! I teach 2 year olds, and all the girls have those blinged out sneakers, and now Mrs. Zeidman is gonna have her own pair!!!

  24. Jenn says:

    OMG! LOVE THE SHOES! So glad that this tutorial was posted. I have really wanted to do a pair like this for myself and wasn’t exactly sure how to do it. LOVE IT! I really need to make a pair now! Thanks so much for sharing!

  25. Safeena says:

    Oh I LOVE what you’ve done with those pumps. I have some very loved Ariat riding boots that go back almost 20 years. They’ve been redyed but as their used for dressup (yeah…) they couldbenefit from a little accessorizing.
    Oh yes that would be wonderful, and with the leftovers, cat collar bling. Eleven collars.

  26. Tracy M. says:

    b/c blinging things is every girls dream! I love those shoes <3

  27. Erica says:

    I’ve been impermanently blinging (i.e. glitter) for years. I’d love the opportunity to really bling!

  28. Sandy says:

    I have a pair of red heels just crying for a little bling! But why stop there, my bike is looking a little boring…

  29. Rena says:

    I love this! I definitely need a little more bling and attitude in my wardrobe. Thanks for the inspiration. (and thanks for the tools??)

  30. Jasmine says:

    Corinne, I don’t specifically need ny crystals, but wanted to say that it’s GREAT to see you back on the interwebs crafting again. I sorely miss Threadbanger from way back in the day. Hey…is that an engagement ring! Mazel Tov! OK. Roger roger, over and out.

  31. Julia says:

    Oh, I could sure use that Tulip kit! I just gave birth to my second boy. I’m forever out-numbered! I need some crystals, ribbon and glitter in my life! Baby Clive might even get crystaled up a bit!

  32. Diane says:

    Love, love this idea. I teach art to Junior High and High School kids and we have decorated running shoes with fabric markers. The kids love to use their creativity on these and I believe that they would go crazy over being able to use “bling” as well!

  33. Katie Z. says:

    Ooooh, I really want to do this to a pair of shoes for my wedding– because unfortunately, real bling means a serious budget! The glittery shoes I fell in love with cost $500, which means it’s either diy or go barefoot for this bride! I promise to post pictures! :D

  34. Jamie says:

    My combat boots would love some bling…

  35. Melissa Harrison says:

    These are so cool!! :D I’ve been looking for some really sparkly heels in the stores, but I cant never seem to find them. :( and i think thats the reason why i should win the gems. But This is a cool DIY tip. And as a major fashionista I must try this! :)

  36. Jane says:

    I’ve got a pair of heels that I never wear. I’ve been trying to come up with a way to revamp them. This is perfect!

  37. TK says:

    I would love to resparkle my tired looking flats!

  38. Brooke says:

    I have two foster sisters that I would love to make soon ADOPTION gifts for :) I would love to bling my converse shoes!
    I keep looking at the heat setting tool in the stores and it looks really easy, I just didnt know if it would really work, but for shoes girl those are rocking! Thanks for the giveaway! SPARKLE on.

  39. Emory says:

    I am dying to bling out my shoes like that, but cant afford anymore craft stuff. Hope you pick me!

  40. Massachuseats says:

    I have the perfect pair of shoes for these! They would look awesome with my rock n roll-esque style :)

  41. Brooke says:

    My reason for winning is I have two foster sisters who we hope to adopt, I would LOVE to bling stuff with them. They are girly girls. I have been looking at the heating tool for a while, didnt know if it would really work. However, those shoes are rock-N!!! I have a pair of converse shoes that really could use some bling. I have my desk at work that would use some bling! I am thinking my phone at work!Thanks for the giveaway. BLING on!

  42. Meghan says:

    I would like to win because I have really really wide feet, and the only shoes I can find to fit me are really boring and plain. These jewels would be awesome. Plus I have 3 little girls that would love to add sparkle to anything and everything they own.

  43. Becky B. says:

    I have a nine year-old daughter and we LOVE bling! We could have so much fun remaking shoes, bags, sunglasses, headbands..the possibilities are endless!! Please pick Hannah and I! :-)

  44. Ivory says:

    I definatley need some massive bling supplies. I had some major ankle surgery a couple years ago and as a result am no longer able to wear anything with even the slightest heel. This combined with my huge/wide feet and the huge ankle brace I have to wear, means I’m stuck with either sneakers or ugly old lady flats. I need to get some blingity prettyness on my shoes

  45. Debbie Daubs says:

    This project is so awesome! I have 5 granddaughters and 2 great-granddaughters. That is a lot of bling bling. They love blinged up clothes, purses, or anything prettied up. After seeing this project I think I am going to bling up an old pair of MY SHOES! Love it. Thanks for sharing. Debbie

  46. amanda says:

    I love your shoes!!! I need to be the winner since I love shoes and I’m a missionary on the US with a budget!! :)

  47. LMG says:

    Because I am, as my grandmother would say, “needlessly careless with my things” (and a complete klutz), I recently punctured the platform on a shiny new pair of red patent heels ON THE FIRST WEAR. Clearly, I need something to rectify my needless carelessness, and this would do the trick!

  48. Megan M says:

    OMG… LOVE this tool. All the blinging I could imagine.

  49. Agnes N says:

    My friend and I are want to dress up as blinged-out Lolitas next year at Anime North- we already have our shoes picked out but are in desperate need of some blinging materials to jazz them up- this would be PERFECT!! Thanks for the tutorial :)

  50. Angela says:

    I love shoes! And of course i love to craft! I would love to own some Louboutins but I cant quite afford them on a college girl’s budget. I own more than 50 pairs of shoes and would love to bedazzle them so they look new! Please pick me!

  55. Jeanne Smith says:

    What a fun pair of shoes! I would love to be able to bling up a pair of little girl shoes and then donate them to a charity for some lucky young lady!We have so many homeless children here in Central Florida and just a simple act of donating a pair of shoes would brighten some child’s day!

  56. Ntina says:

    I love this idea! I want to try it. Thanks for posting the video :-)

  59. Barb Smith says:

  65. Sara says:

    I’ve confessed on my blog before about having a crush on glitter, well anything that sparkles and shines really. I’d be gushing with brightness if I won the kit! By the way, I like how you balanced the bling on your shoes without being gaudy.

  66. Mugdha says:

    I’d love the kit because I can’t afford nearly as many crafty tools as I would like. :x

  67. Gina says:

    I should win this kit because I was running out of ideas for what to wear to the next PTA meeting!

  68. eileen says:

    I should win because my shoes are dumpy and I need to bling them out. Besides, I have a teenage daughter who is just coming into the bling thing…

  69. Sherry says:

  70. Kaila says:

    This is such a fabulous idea! I’m in love! <3 I would love to win this kit because I wear everything bling and these would match perfectly! :) they are just too darn expensive to buy already made! Great job, you rock!

  71. Stephanie says:

    I want these! I’m a shoe addict and a craft addict. However, as a stay at home mom and military wife, I just don’t have the funds to get shoes like these (or many things for myself at all, let’s face it). I think I would even go a step further and bling out the heel! I craft all the time, and I’m constantly making my own things or re-purposing old things so that I can have things that look amazing but don’t cost a lot. I would LOVE to win this kit so that my crafting addiction can just expand and my wardrobe can get better! Thanks!

    Long ago, in my teenage years, I use to ‘bling’ my blue jeans with beads and sequence. I learned to do this on my own and it made the other popular girls a bit jealous. Now I see that I can use iron-on crystals and a heating tool. How nice it that! Thanks for the idea.
