How do I attach swarovski crystals to flip-flops?

Anyone know how to securely attach/stick swarovski crystals to rubber flip-flop sandals? Thanks!

How do I attach swarovski crystals to flip-flops?
Clear gel tacky glue is good as well as super glue, but if you want something more durable I definitely recommend using a hot glue gun.





You can purchase it at any crafts store such as Michaels, Jo Ann's, or even Walmart. (where the fabric is located at)





May I suggest using super glue on the crystals, then use a bit of hot glue gun on the area you want to bond it to for extra hold.





Hope that helps, your shoes will look great!
Reply:a bedazzler or the equivalent. i would ask at a craft store. hot glue would work but its not going to look that hot. just make sure you can get studs that fit your crystals.

Reply:usually svarowski crystals are sewn on nice and classy clothes and shoes.. I mean the crystals ( if they're true) are to going to cost 10 times more than your pair of sandals.. why don't you just try to glue strasses ? -- I'm not being mean I just ask some respect and consideration for tailors creators and in a way all textile workers...--





Maybe they're not that expensive in the u s but they are in europe.
Reply:Why would you want to do that? Swarovski crystals on cheap flip flops?
Reply:lol if they're rubber they're cheap


that's kinda tacky but how about using some glue





edit: by "cheap" i don't mean how much they cost, but their quality. and swarovski crystals aren't that expensive. but your defense is hilarious.
Reply:i reccomed using rubber cement
Reply:gorilla glue can be messy but works really well, maybe super glue, hot glue, or if you can find the little things that beads sit in and clamp around you could attach them maybe with thick thread and sew them through. really, i'm not sure. hope i helped!
