Rhinestone help?

[swan-princess.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone!

I just won a pair of cheap-o boots on eBay, and I want to basically paint them white and cover them with rhinestones. I'm planning on spraying a primer to the boots, possibly spraying with a white floral paint (something I've done before).. And then I'm stuck. Should I spray with sealant and apply the rhinestones with rhinestone glue? After I apply them, should I spray another coat of sealant, or would that affect the shine? Should I do something completely different?

And so this isn't a text-only post, these are the boots I won:


Thanks everyone.
