DIY Accessory – Embellished Oxfords

imageHere at Stylehive, we’re loving the preppy oxford trend that’s been spotted on ‘It’ girls everywhere!
Here’s a fun and stylish way to spice up these old school kicks with a little glitz and glam in the form of rhinestones. Yup, we said it! Rhinestones are back … and we love them!


Big name design houses like Miu Miu and Christian Louboutin have created similar embellished styles, inspiring us to dig through our old crafts drawer and get our bedazzle on!


Here’s what you’ll need



– Rhinestones (color of your choice – Classic clear looks great with everything, black gems look spectacular against white, black or dark hues or opt for a fun color for a truly unique look!)
– E-6000 industrial strength adhesive
– a pencil
– 2 sheets of newspaper
– Your favorite pair of oxfords (we’re adding the pizazz back to an old pair of jazz shoes!)



Step 1 – Crumple the newspaper into two small balls and stuff your shoes.


Step 2 – Using your pencil, mark a dotted pattern where you will glue the crystals.


Step 3 – Add a thin line or small dot of glue and carefully place rhinestones to marked spots


Step 4 – Repeat this step until your oxford shoes are covered in the desired design!
