Something Blue . . .

I've noticed a trend where more and more brides are putting their & their fiancee initials on the bottom of their shoe. So I thought what a great idea! After some research I found this site with step by step instructions: http://www.do-it-yourself-weddings.com/diy-rhinestone-wedding-shoes.html

Attempt #1:
Supplies: (blue rhinestones, safety pin, clear nail polish, scissors)









As you can see the font I used was to flowy. It didn''t work well since the rhinestones were a bit bigger then I wanted (but you can't blame a cheap find :))









After using a safety pin to make an outline, I put the rhinestones on and here is how attempt #1 turned out:












Attempt #2:
(I couldn't find any nice calligraphy fonts of "C" & "V" so I settled for a normal block script)












As you can see, it was more difficult the second time because the safety pin outlines from attempt #1 and #2 were overlapping:












Sealing the deal with some clear nail polish to act as glue









All in all, I thought it turned out okay and nothing to spectacular but I think that's only cause I couldn't find a nice font. This project came out to $3.78 thanks to Sandy's great find of rhinestones.


*** and for something totally unrelated, We bought a frame at Superstore to house our completed Invitation. Course I blurred out how the invitation actually looks but isn't the frame look so pretty? (yeah I know . . . it's a tease)
