Very nice!!! Awesome job!
I finally completed my first DIY strass project!!! I'm in love and cannot wait to wear them out! :love eyes:
Presenting my You You 100mm painted a oyster/champagnish color. (You can see the toe area for the color) and strassed in Greige Swarovski crystals.
Used 5ss,9ss,12ss,16ss and 20ss crystals. Probably went through about 40 gross in crystals total (about 5,500 crystals).
Of course as with most the camera just does not capture the sparkle. The crystals look flat and dull in the pics, but they have a nice shine and brilliance to them.
Oops, sorry about 2 being upside down. Not sure how to fix.

Thanks. Granted, I did use a lot more 5ss than anything else because I wanted that double outline look that I've seen on the true CL strass. Out of the 40 gross, I think about 25 gross where in 5ss only.
Wow - stunning, I would be scared sitting next to youI finally have my 2nd pair to contribute!!!

... so watch out not to "spike" yourself. Looks really good ... please tell after times of wearing them, if the glue was strong enough to hold up.

I have no idea. I buy in 10 gross packets and use these two colors often so it's just a big mixture of all the sizes.
Absolutely.. I even moved from Ga to Pa and they stayed on through the move..Wow - stunning, I would be scared sitting next to you
I've thought about doing that too. But how do you fill the hole in the back of the spike -- fill it with E6000?

Gorgeous!! I love them! Yeah, I'm not at all surprised by 40 gross. I think I used 7000+ crystals in total for my LP slings.
oh wow.. I'll definitely be ordering more crystals.. LOL. Im not strassing Cls since it's gonna be my first pair and I didn't want to risk ruining a pair of CLs so I found a pair of steve madden shoes I no longer wear.
