Have you tried hairspray? Yesterday was the first time out in the mean NYC streets and the glitter held up well.
I did! Perhaps I used too much glitter.... ush:

Finally worn...will post in proper forums
OMG OMG OMG!!! My heart is pounding!
I just taped off and sprayed the first layer of acrylic paint (used for painting plastic models) onto one of my Altis! It looks okay, but I need to wait for 15-30 minutes for it to dry before I apply a second layer. Going to leave it nearer 30 as I want to be sure it's totally dry as I may have sprayed a bit too heavily. In fact, I'm heading out in 30 minutes so it'll have quite some time to dry!
For those that don't remember - this is the pair of patent ice blue Alti 160s with the plethora of marks on them. The plan is to dye/paint them black and then strass them with Jet cystals.

Ladies I must say the DIY thread/s are seriously very inspiring and there are so many creative gals here!!
I am thinking of starting a project but had a few questions I'd like help with...
For ladies who have strassed the entire shoe, do you find that where you have strassed the shoe near the bunion area of your shoe, the crystals have/will fall off when you bend your foot (from normal walking motion)?
Also, if anyone could recommend a place (or e-bay seller) to purchase the crystals in order to strass my shoes that would be most appreciated!!
TIA
Step one of my first ever DIY project is complete!!!
