OK I was wanting to know if you could tell me how to do rhinestones on the bottom of your Bridal Heels? Do you buy special stickers or put the rhinestones there yourself?

Thanks!

I've seen the sticky back ones that usually come on a sheet in a pattern already but I'd be afraid they would fall off. I planned to find a small package or loose flack back rhinestones and super glue them to my shoes. I like the size they use for nail decorations, you can find packages of clear or multi color ones with the manacure stuff, or larger ones in craft sections of stores. I was wanting to find tiny blue ones so I'll have to buy them online. I wear a size 5 to 6 shoe depending on the shoe so there's not much realestate to work with.

I just used the rhinestones that come on a sheet, I put a tiny drop of super glue on the back of each one so that they would stick.

Joann Fabrics sells pre-made individual sticky rhinestone letters. They come in a tiny package with one uppercase and one lowercase initial, for like $3. They don't fall off and they look very nice. They even have a couple different colors like clear, blue, and pink.

When I have made things with rhinestones, I have always used model glue. For some reason i think it sticks better than super glue.

I recently invested $30 in a Bejeweler Pro on eBay for hotfix crystals. Hotfix crystals and rhinestones stay put (if you don't overheat them like I did in the beginning...). But doing letters can be tricky. I recommend the pre-stick as well. I doubt they will fall off, they are usually made to go on clothing if I remember correctly, and if they can survive the washing machine I think gently used high heels should be okay for one night.
