I'm all about a little sparkle here and there, so below is a super easy and inexpensive way to add a touch to a basic pair of flip-flops and maybe even branch out to a pair of neglected heels found in the deep depths of your closet...
Simple DIY:
Pair of flip-flops (Old Navy has the best deal and color selection)
Mixed sequins (varying shapes and colors - I bought a bag at Michael's)
Super Strong glue (I used E-6000 and it's great)
Small paintbrush
 |
| I also bought a small box of faux crystals and found a great way to use them on heels... |
 |
| Squeeze out a bit of the glue and rub it in on each side then smear around just a bit with the paintbrush. You want a good sticky surface. |
 |
| Pour a generous amount of the sequins onto the glue - they set in randomly which is the look I went with rather than trying to make it look to uniform. | |
|
 |
| Gently push them into the glue, shake off the excess and rearrange a bit if need be making sure to remove any that are not secure. You will most likely have to add a couple by hand with a dab of glue if some areas did not take. Then put them in a shady spot to dry overnight. |
 |
| This is what I did with the crystals... Love the new sparkle added to a pair of slingbacks I had forgotten about. These took a bit more time as you want to make sure to create a pattern and have each look the same. Inspiration was a pair of Mui Mui heels I saw HERE |
 |
| Cap-toed a pair of H&M ballet flats ~ The toe of the shoes had gotten scraped up prior and looked really worn so I added a bit of embellishment and good as new! These are really fun with the standard jeans and a white tee look. As you can see I kept within a certain color scheme for these. |
