BE...JEWELED OUT!

This past weekend was my birthday! YAY! So my lovely fiance took me out shopping and let me get whatever I wanted. THAT WAS AWESOME. While I was out I got some new black work flats so I decided to try a project out with my old work flats. I fell in love with the OLD shoes when i finally finished my project. Tell me what you think!

(Here's a picture of the old flats accompanied by a bag of plastic jewels and tacky glue, both of which I bought at the local craft store!)

Shoes- originally $12.00 at old navy

1lb Bag of Jewels- a little over $13.00

Tacky Glue- approx. $2.00 at most!

Pink Glitter ribbon (shown below) $1.00

Towel- on hand

Scissors- On hand

Total Cost- $28.00

1. Start with your old shoes. Wipe off any dirt or markings!
2. Next is to scatter out your Jewels on towel and pick your poison! ( I picked the heart first)

     3. Apply Tack glue to the whole back of the jewel and press on the shoe. (Tip: it will slide and shift around until dry so try to keep it in the place you want it! Don't worry at this point if it moves you can just slide it back into place!)

    4. Keep applying your jewels this way using various shapes and sizes. Have fun with it! (Tip: the glue may be white now and look kinda sloppy but don't worry it drys clear!)

    5. Next grab your Ribbon of choice!

    6. Cut to the size of the side of the shoe in an diagnal fashion. Taking the ribbon from the back of the shoe to the outside of the shoe where your Jewels end.(Tip: I did this twice for a bit more Embellishment)

    7. Glue along the edges of the ribbion and do a "z" pattern in the middel of the ribbon and place on the shoe. (Tip: this can get messy)

    8. Allow your shoe at least an hour or so to dry a little before continuing. If you do too much at one type everything will slide around and it will not work out nicely :-).

    9.  Apply the Ribbon on the inside of the shoe in the same way as the outside.

   10. Then apply Jewels to the open space in the back of the shoe.

   11. Repeat whole process with the opposite shoe and Allow a night (8hrs) for the shoes to dry. When you wake up in the morning you should have brand new Unique and lovely, Hard to miss and hard to hate Bejeweled and Bedazzled Flats! Enjoy!

HOLA!,

Months ago I found a website called Rewardsgold.com. It's awesome, you take a survey and BAM! They send you a year subscription to a magazine of your choice!. I have three magazines from them LUCKY, W, and Martha Stewards Living Magazine also. I've never been a mag person and all that jazz but anything free I'll try it out! So I found out my LUCKY mag has sweepstakes in the back of it. LONG STORY SHORT. I entered a lot of sweepstakes in July and I WON one! Yay ME! I received an email this month saying I won a $50 gift card to NYX COSMETICS. I spoke with someone from the company, Miriam was her name and she was very helpful and sweet. Here's my review!

PROS: 

• Variety of products
• Every product comes in various colors
• Products are not only reasonably priced but very very inexpensive (I got a stick of lipstick for $4.00)
• Easy to navigate site
• Free shipping on orders over $50 :-)
• Fast customer service

CONS:

• I only had one issue was during my checkout and I received an error about a multi-ship issue but I spoke with Miriam and she had her team clear up the problem within a half an hour! So it wasn't really so much of a con ;-)
• I really wanted purple mascara and couldn't find any (Tehehe) I guess that's nothing serious either

SHOUT OUT TO MIRIAM from NYX COSMETICS FOR BEING SUCH A DOLL twitter.com/mjrodrixo
