Everyone loves a little bling on their shoes!

I bought these Converse shoes at the Thrift Shop for a couple bucks. The washed up like new and I added a few embelishments and now my princess has some new favorite shoes. The best part is that she can be comfortable wearing her converse shoes with a skirt or dress and still be fashionable!

Miss Eva is already picking out her favorite shoes and outfits to wear!

If you'd like to make a pair yourself, here's what you'll need:

some Aleene's Jewel-It, flat gems, and ribbon for laces.

You will need to scuff your shoes with a rough sponge & clean

them with rubbing alcohol before you adhere the gems.

It is best to use tweezers to align the gems.
