  7. Glue on shoe clip finding with E6000. Be sure to wait a full 24 hours for the glue to cure before using. If your shoe clips have holes you can get additional security by weaving the wire in and out of the holes.

We are so cute. I really like the look. I just have to make them in pink and purple to make my grand daughter really happy. She loves those two colors. The directions couldn't be easier with step by step pictures to help you along the way. Thank you for sharing.

cannot find the shoe findings. HELP!!!!!!

Hi, dottiejs. Have you tried your local craft store (Hobby Lobby, Michaels, etc.)? You should be able to find them there. If not, you might try ordering them online. Here is a link to a similar product on our sister site CutRateCrafts: http://www.cutratecrafts.com/product.php/sku/421347 Hope this helps! --Editors of FaveCrafts

Ok is it me losing where the second jump ring is supposed to be used at? I don't see the need but was curious as to where it was supposed to come in to play?

lol, hopefully you have figured this one out by now. You have two feet, two pairs of shoes, two shoe clips so you need two jump-rings. Ok, so you gave me a little laugh, I needed it. :)
