November 3: Swarovski-Inspired Shoes
This week those lucky designers were given free reign in a Swarovski Crystallized store, where they were allowed to pick jewelry to inspire their shoe creations and Swarovski crystals with which to make the shoes and a piece of jewelry. Blingtastic!
I'd love to see your blinged-out creations. Take the challenge with us and post photos of your Swarovski crystal jewelry (and shoes, if you're so inclined!) in the Make-Along Gallery!
