Bibidi Bobidi BLING! A Cinderella-Inspired runDisney Style for the 2022 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend

If the shoe fits… run in it! Just one more week until the Ultimate Princess Celebration during the 2022 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend presented by CORKCICLE kicks off. Get ready to run your happily ever after in true Cinderella fashion during the Disney Princess 5K with running shoes featuring a touch of magic that even the Fairy Godmother would approve of. Follow the below tutorial to make your own jewel adorned shoes just in time for race weekend:

Supplies

  • Silver Craft Gems
  • Industrial Strength Craft Adhesive
  • Tweezers
  • Running Shoes

Directions

  • Using the back of your tweezers, add glue to your shoe section by section (if covering the entire shoe) or in a small area of your own design.
  • Pick up the craft gems one by one using the tweezers and place them on the glue.
  • For a more effective design, vary the size of your gems used with smaller gems on the outside of the design and larger ones towards the wider areas.
  • Once you have added your desired amount of gems, let the shoes dry overnight. Now it’s time to run in royal style!

Thank you runDisney.com for a great craft project! The 2022 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend is next weekend! Will your shoes have bling for this race? Or will you save your blinged out shoes for your next trip?
