Revamping shoes... Advice!

gg2

I have a wedding at Christmas and I'm trying to do my outfit on the absolute cheap . I have an idea of adding a brooch to my penneys stilletos - has anyone ever done this? Should I just try to pin it on or stitch it? Will it even work? Any advice would be super.. I'm thinking something along these lines....

I *think* that gluing something on is a good way to go, this is supposed to be excellent.

I remember someone showing me how they did this for a college ball years ago - they used epoxy glue (the stuff that has to be mixed - it's flexible and waterproof (unlike superglue etc), very important for something like shoes that will be constantly moving because of having your feet directly under the glue!) to attach a small strip of ridgy ribbon to the front of the shoe, then pinned the brooch between the ribbon and the fabric of the shoe, so that the ribbon strip was completely covered by the brooch. One advantage of this method is that you could change the brooches in the future if you wanted to.
Let us know how you get on, interesting project

I use hair clips on my shoes all the time to add a flower or diamantes as above pic. Handy as they come in pairs usually and the clip part holds it down well
