Use a hot glue gun or fabric glue to carefully adhere jewels to the back of a pair of white satin heels. We used an assortment of jewel sizes including 5mm, 7mm, 10mm, and 12mm.

To keep the ends of the bow pretty and fray-free, fold the tails of the satin ribbon in half and cut the end of the ribbon at an angle toward the fold. Use a candle lighter to carefully and lightly burn the ribbons’ edge. This melts the ribbon fibers together making a nice crisp and fray-free edge.
