Step 1Making bows

making bows
To make the bows first you get the cardboard and cut it into a bow shape I don't have the measurements because i didn't measure anything i cut it to how i wanted.

Next get the red material and glue it over the cardboard .

Then get the needle and thread and sew around the edges with the dimonties  , once thats completed get the red stone and sew it into the middle of the bow and then With the larger sized dimonties  go around the edge of the stone.

  Next Glue the bugle beads on either side in the remaining space use the glitter glue looks nicer . To add some extra sparkle you may like to sprinkle some red glitter over the bow

To finish off the bow cut another peice of carboard or thick paper and a peice of material to fit on the carboard and place glue onto the back to make the bow look neater.

They're called "sequins", not "sequences". Nice job -- they'd look good for theater, costume, etc.

she is 15 years old and has done an amazing job.  Why not send her a private message and help her with spelling instead of publically shaming her?

what a mature young lady you are! There are many older people in this world who cannot take constructive criticism so well!

How much did all the materials including the shoes cost you? If you already had the shoes, how much did the materials cost you? How long did it take you to get all the sequins on straight like that, thats brilliant! You did a wonderful job!! I would like to make a pair for my daughter, I missed where you used the glitter though.. Thank you for making this!! Good job!

I have a flapper costume thing in April and have been hunting high and low for silver shoes to match the dress. But I am cheap so it has been hard to find a pair that coincide with my spinster sensibilities and my monster bunion. I have a an old pair of shoes in the giveaway pile that will be perfect for this. Thanks
The children are our future!!!

They look great! And the first picture is brilliant.

You should think about separating out some of the big blocks of text into smaller blocks and adding capitals, it would make it much easier to read!

 These r beautiful!  I am going to try to make a pair this weekend.  I looked last weekend for brown shoes like this to bring out a beautiful but basic cocoa colored dress.  I settled for some shoes that I didn't even like.  Thanks 4 sharing!!!

/me has an uncontrollable desire to photograph these in a light tent. So shiny! I second Kozz's comment, the word "sequences" confused me until I realised they were "sequins", but your instructions are still good (and you have got me appreciating a pair of shiny shoes :D)
