DIY: Crystal Skull Design Loafer Flats

You guys probably know by now that I'm obsessed with skulls.  Like really obsessed.  And I've totally been digging slip-on loafer-style shoes too.  So when I found a super-clearance plain black pair last week, I bought them immediately and decided to do my own skull design instead of buying a pair with the design. To be honest though, if I ever find a really great deal on a McQueen pair, I still might splurge. :)

What you will need for this DIY: a pair of flat shoes (I bought a loafer-style pair).  You will also need craft paint in a color of your choice (I chose silver), a small paintbrush, a pencil, rhinestones in a color of your choice (I chose green) and gem-tac (or some other type of adhesive) to secure the rhinestones onto the shoes.

Are you ready to begin?

1. Gather your materials.  (Note that I have clear rhinestones in the photo but I ended up using green ones instead.)

2. Lightly draw in pencil an outline of your design.

3. Color in your design with the craft paint.  I used two coats of paint, allowing about 5 minutes of dry time in between layers.

4. Begin adding the rhinestones around the edge of the design.  Secure them tightly using the gem-tac or other adhesive.

5. Continue until all the sides have been covered with rhinestones.

6. For a sparkly touch, add glitter into the extra space using glitter paint.

They are finished!

7. Wear & enjoy!

Have a great weekend!  And yes, I'm still on the couch recovering from my tonsils!
