DIY Rhinestone Flip Flops w/pic

I ordered 25 coral rhinestones on eBay for $1 with shipping and decided to try this out..does it honestly look really crappy and cheapy?? I only had gorilla glue at home so I tried it out, it was sticky but not too hard and only took me 10 mins to do all these...

Is there a better glue out there to use? Should I finish my shoes and do the girls shoes with ivory rhinestones??

What glue did you use? I don't think the one I used is good because it's really sticky...

Mighty Gem It! I just happened to have a bottle lying around- random, I know. But it worked great!

Re: DIY Rhinestone Flip Flops w/pic

You did an awesome job!

I went online and found a video on how to do this. There is a special glue (epoxy 2000???) that they sell at michaels or ac moore that you should use do that the rhinestones don't fall off.

Ps where did you find the flip flops?
