Personalising School Clothes

DD starts school in 2 weeks and has to wear gym rubbers indoors. I have been trying to get her the nice looking ones from Sainsburys (hearts or butterflies embroidered on them) but after 3 weeks of searching I cannot find them in a size 10

So I bought plain ones in a 10 instead and am looking for crafty suggestions about how to 'bling' them up....a) so they look pretty (she is a girly girl) and b) so she can easily spot them among 23 other pairs of black gym shoes in the cloakroom

Suggestions welcome :)

    Might sound silly but do you know she can actually wear those? As it wouldn't be allowed at my children's school.
    You can get stick on 'jewels', although i'm not sure how well they would stick on to plimsolls.

    My two boys went to the same school so I know all the kids wear them, to protect the carpets :)

    Would a fabric glue work on the jewels d'you think?

    Should work. You can also use the fabric paints on the plimsolls. Check out this link for idea ...... http://www.fizzpotzz.co.uk/plimsoll-parties.asp if the school allow it then great as it is so helpful to the classroom assistants etc.
