Here's how to make your own "I DO Stickers" ♩

DIY "I DO Stickers" ♩ [Materials Needed]

The materials needed to create I DO stickers are: 【Glossy sticker paper for free-cutting (available at 100 yen shops), Swarovski or rhinestones, glue, toothpicks, and tweezers】＊You can easily obtain all of these items♡

While rhinestones can make a cute sticker, if you prefer a more sparkling and high-end look, using Swarovski is recommended＊Using blue stones will also incorporate something blue, serving two purposes♩

DIY "I DO Stickers" ♩ [Basic How-To]

First, look at the width of the soles of the shoes you want to decorate, then print out the text ("I DO") on the glossy sticker paper and cut it into the shape of the letters＊Make sure the color of the letters matches that of the Swarovski♩

Next, adhere the stones to the cut-out letters, and once dried, you’re done! Since it’s a very detailed task, it's good to use a toothpick to put glue on the letters and tweezers to attach the stones, making it a fun process＊

To ensure a clean finish, make sure the glue does not spill over the letters, and choose stones that are slightly larger than the letters to hide the font nicely♡

DIY "I DO Stickers" ♩ [Easy Method]

If you want to create it with fewer materials, you can simply stick rhinestones directly onto the shoes without preparing sticker paper♩ It tests your sense since there is no draft, but if you choose a Gothic font for "I DO," it might be easier because of its straight lines＊

DIY "I DO Stickers" ♩ [Practical Use]

Once completed, gently stick them on the soles of your shoes♩When you create the I DO stickers yourself, you feel more attached to them♡ Shiny and beautiful "I DO Stickers" will undoubtedly make your wedding shoes even cuter＊

A key point when applying is the orientation of the stickers! You need to ensure that the letters of "I DO" are visible, so the orientation of the sticker will change based on whether you take a photo with the toes pointing up or the heels pointing up＊ Imagine what kind of photo you want to take before applying the stickers♩
