You can always rely on Miu Miu for sensational sparkly shoes. And you can always rely on us to show you how to DIY your own pair. Inspired by a pair of jeweled heeled sandals from seasons past, we repurposed some rhinestones leftover from a previous project to create a new and easy tutorial – just in time for that New Year’s Eve party you RSVP’d to!
You’ll need:
- a pair of heeled shoes
- 40-50 large and medium (10-15 mm) multi-shaped rhinestones
- 30-40 small (3-6 mm) round rhinestones
- E-6000 glue
- tweezers
- small dish or container
- toothpick
- flat nose pliers (optional)
I used pre-set rhinestones, leftover from our Miu Miu sneaker tutorial. With flat nose pliers, I pried the prongs open to release the crystal rhinestones. Skip this step if you’re using loose, flat back rhinestones.
Squeeze some glue into a small dish or container. Pick up one of the larger rhinestones with the tweezers, dip the backside into the glue.
Press the stone into the top of the center of the heel. Add several other large stones around the top, gradually working your way down to the middle of the heel with smaller stones. Go back and add small round stones in bare spots. There is no right or wrong way to creating the pattern – have fun with it!
A tip: the smaller round stones will require the tiniest bit of glue. Dip a toothpick into the glue, dab it onto the backside of the stone and apply to the shoe.
Repeat the same steps on the other shoe . . .
And you’re bejeweled!

These are GORGEOUS! You probably dont have time to answer questions on your blog, but i hope someone finds a teeny weeny bit of time to answer this. one In regards to the glue, did you notice if it dried white or did any of the jewels start to fall off after they dried? i really want to try this but i want to be sure the glue holds the jewels. i want to spare myself the embarrasment. Lol!
You just saved a really cool pair of shoes I have that were on their way out because the suede had been rubbed off of the heels, otherwise the shoes are in really good condition! I can’t wait to try this!!!
Loved it! it was beautiful and super creative.

I was wondering why you use that type of glue? Is it because it stays permanent longer? My shoes go through a lot of wear. Are there any very strong glues you would recommend for fabric and shoes projects?
OMGG!! I really love it, I wanna do one!

Hey….your projects are so nice!!
But so many people are copying your ideas, your pictures included and everything and they are not even quoting the source – this page is from Romania: http://cumfacem.blogspot.com/2012/01/cum-facem-pantofi-cu-bijuterii.html (I tried to leave a comment on her page to quote the source but it’s impossible if you don’t have a specific account)
You are really an inspiration!!! I have to try this some day!
Hi, I had bookmarked this on pinterest for my daughter to try it out, but today I was surprised to see this and many other DIY pictures of yours on the newspaper (times life-Sunday, Feb 24). I live in Kerala, southern most tip of India….thought u should know this as the credits were given to some Indian designers…
amazing. .
