This is a super easy project. All you need is an old pair of shoes, some glue and rhinestones. I was inspired by the Lanvin bug brooches that came out a few season back, but this DIY is totally flexible. The e600 will keep the rhinestones on the shoes rain or shine.

    I started with the bug's body. Place the first stone as close to the middle of the toe as possible. You only need a teeny-weeny little drop of glue. Like as small as a drop you can squeeze out of the tube. Press and hold for 30 seconds.

    Add a couple wings...

    I added the antennae and stinger for a kitschy effect. Let sit overnight. And voila! That's it.
