- How to Make It: Purchase flat-back glass pearls and iridescent rhinestones in varying sizes. Using strong jewelry-grade epoxy adhesive, meticulously cluster them around the collar, eyelets, and heel tab of a sleek leather sneaker. Replace standard cotton laces with a heavy pearl-beaded chain strand.
- Variations: Stick entirely to monochromatic jet-black crystals for a dark-academia or goth-glam twist.
