You will need:

- Stone crystals of your choice

- Matching gold settings

- Feathers

- Scissors

- Flat nose pliers

- Strong crafting adhesive

Steps:

1. Put the crystals in their matching settings and use the nose pliers to secure them in place.

2. Split the crystals into 2 equal sets, 1 for the first sandal and the other for the second one. If you got different sized crystals, organize those as well so you can mimic the pattern in the second one accurately.

3. Put a small dot of glue on the back of the crystal.

4. Glue on the crystal in the center of the sandal strap and start working your way outwards. Place them in different directions.

5. Place tissues or a small towel in the sandal to mimic your foot so it stays in place and with the right shape.

5. Once you reach the top edge of the sandals, stop and don't go down to the sides because they will slide off.

6. Cut and shorten the feathers before you start any of the steps so they can be ready to place them right away.

7.  Select the feathers that face upwards and dip the quill in the glue.

8. Start adding them as soon as possible so they can stick to the glue from the crystals. If the crystal glue has dried a bit, slightly lift the crystal and press the feather between the crystal and strap.

9. Leave it to dry overnight.

10. Place the sandals on the sides and start adding the crystals there. Then dry overnight and do the other side.
