Cinderella's Glass Slippers DIY

Who doesn't love Cinderella?  This girl has a fairy godmother and an awesome pumpkin carriage....She rocks!  Not to mention the glass slippers.  

Who doesn't want a pair of those even just to display?

Today we're making a wearable version of the glass slippers featured in the latest Cinderella movie which are perfect for cosplay, Halloween or your own perfect little princess.  

Huge thanks to www.Beadaholique.com and www.TapeBrothers.com

Enjoy!  xo, Mark

A wearable glass slipper!

The original from the latest Cinderella movie

They wouldn't be complete without the butterfly shoe clips!

Watch the short video tutorial here!

YOU'LL NEED

White heels (Got these at Payless)

2" wide holographic tape

E-6000 glue

2 clip on earring bases

2 brass butterflies

Flat back Swarovski crystals

Minwax Polycrylic

Small piece of faux suede

Paintbrush and scissors

 Make sure your shoes are clear of dirt and dust

Cut the holographic tape into different sized triangles

Artfully stick them to the shoe with a small space in between each triangle

When you've covered the entire shoe, apply two coats of Minwax Polycrylic and let dry

Add sparkly crystals around the shoe opening with E-6000

 Cut 4 small circles the size of a quarter from the faux suede (you could use felt or thick fabric)

Glue two circles to each side of the flat part of the clip on earring findings

Slightly bend the butterfly upward so it's not flat

With more E-6000, glue the other metal part of the clip on to the back of the butterfly

Let dry and clip on the front of the shoes

Make sure to leave one behind for your prince!
