10ss is not too big. I used 7ss and 9ss mainly. Some 12ss. 5ss is too small for outlining IMO

Ok I really appreciate it it's my first time and I don't want it to be a total bust before I even start gluing lol, thanks again !!

Thanks!!! Ill try the 10ss, Not much bigger than a 9ss.
I bought 20,16,12,10,7,5ss. Of course no 9ss. Lets see what happens. I was just placing them on the shoe. They r slippery little suckers!!! Waiting on my tools to come in........ So I can begin.
I'm nervous I don't want to mess this up.
this IS Princess - Heaven ... I love themBack to shoes, yes?
Just wanted to share a couple pics of a pair of Armadillo Brides I strassed in Volcano Swarovski rhinestones. I chose to use Volcano on these because I felt that the gold in the rhinestones would tie in well with the heel, sides and toe.
Oh wow - this is a wonderful statement clutch ... I would wear it to after-office-drinks out
and would look perfectly dressy even without makeup *lol* ...
Well 9ss or 10ss. Same thing
I use the same sizes except 10ss to 9ss. What tools you getting?You will be fine. Hope it's gonna be fun for you. Let us know if you have more questions

curved tweezers and the little magic tray. I'm debating on the wax stick.
I was practicing with regular tweezers. 5ss stones flying everywhere!! LOL. Falling In the peep toe crack. Good thing I have until July. As the bride said 150 days but who's counting......
R the syringes necessary for glue?
I am probably not the one to comment since I didn't use the syringes... But I don't think it's necessary since people use a little brush or even toothpick

My thinking. I just don't see how this is easier if its been done without n I hear the glue drys out so what's the point. Thank u for the reassurance. I remember a nail kit is a good item to buy but that was the 1st DIY if Im correct. Thank u!!!
I'm not done asking questions. I know once it time to start placing the rhinestones. I will have soooooo many more. Thank u so much for making me feel less anxiety about this. Even my DH looked at the 5ss an said that will take u forever u aren't scared. Thanks!!! I know once I start I will b fine. It's just that first few. Or the first shoe. I'm so HAPPY U GIRLS R HERE!!!! Xoxoxo
No problem at all. I'm not all that experienced in strassing. Done 3 pairs so far. I was scared to death for the first and ladies here are just huge help. It was after all a fun experience and my dh said he is so proud of me seeing my result product. It'll worth it and you will be fine. Just post when you have doubt. Girls here are the best
hi ladies, i just wanted to share four professional images of my wedding shoes that i strassed myself the shoes in the first image were my "back ups" -- they were half a size bigger and i switched to them for the reception for comfort reasons. it would have been better to listen to my instincts to order my customs in the size i thought rather than listening to the sales rep at the store, but oh well 
hope you enjoy
