Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Prep the Surface: Lightly sand the area where the rhinestones will be applied. This helps the glue adhere better. Wipe away dust with rubbing alcohol.
2️⃣ Apply the Outline: Using E6000 glue, create an outline of rhinestones around the shoe’s edges and holes for a structured design.
3️⃣ Fill in the Gaps: Start placing rhinestones in a balanced mix of sizes and colors, working outward from the holes.
4️⃣ Bling the Straps: Use smaller SS8 rhinestones to neatly cover the straps for a uniform look.
5️⃣ Let It Cure: Allow the glue to dry completely (24-48 hours) before wearing.
Pro Tips for the Best Results:
✅ Work in a well-ventilated area when using E6000 glue, as the fumes can be strong.
✅ Use a wax pencil to quickly and accurately pick up rhinestones.
✅ Apply glue in small sections to prevent drying out before placing the rhinestones.
✅ For cleaning, use a soft brush with mild soap—just like you would for a rhinestone tumbler.
