I bought a cheap set of trainers from sports direct, they cost me all of £4. I wanted them cheap as my daughter would not wear them often, only for her dance competitions. She wore them for street, team street and rock and roll.
They were easy and cheap to make, I already had the rhinestones and the e6000 glue, I then ordered a set of silver laces just to add the finishing touches. I didn't want them to OTT just a bit blingy.
I first added some e6000 glue into a syringe, I then put the glue onto the trainer in the half circle using the syringe and then one by one adding the rhinestones with a rhinestone picker upper putting them onto the glue. It didn't take long to do approximately half an hour to do both, this includes changing the laces from white to silver. I then left them to dry over night and checked them in the morning, they were fully dry and ready to wear.
My daughter wore these a few times at a couple of dance competitions and never lost any of the rhinestones. They still looked as good as when i first made them. It was great fun and my daughter felt great in them.
It's a cheap way to up cycle your shoes/trainers and really doesn't take much time, you do not have to be a great crafter to create these, all you need is some glue and some rhinestones and your away. Save yourself some money, instead of paying someone else to create these, give it a go yourself and save yourself some money.
