This is my kind of girl!

An ingenious young lady made her sister's prom dream come true.
She made her a $6,000 pair of shoes for less than $40!  

Her inspiration - Christian Louboutin heels:


Here's what she did:
■  bought a pair of high heels for $25 at an outlet 


 ■  spray painted them

 ■  taped around the soles

 ■  painted the soles red and, when dry, coated them
with a layer of polyurethane for shininess


 ■  organized three sizes of blue rhinestones
(3mm, 5mm, & 6mm)

 ■  lined the edge with the 3mm stones

■  then glued till her eyes almost crossed! 


(drum roll, please!)

The results:

So, what do you think?


Yeah, she nailed it.

Let's nominate this savvy young lady for Best Sister in the World!

    Holy cow!! That is some serious gluing with all those crystals. I wonder if the gloss on top of the red made them slippery?
