Okay, this can BARELY be called a tutorial........ but have you SEEN these boots yet??????
I've really, really, really been wanting a pair....... but the price tag is a bit steep for me at the moment.
So, what do we do when we WANT something, but we're broke?
WE MAKE IT!!!!!!!
Hopefully, you've got a pair of old boots lying around.
1. Now, the boots above from LuxuryJones are full length, slit down the back, and folded down. THEN embellished. I didn't have a pair of full length boots I was willing to sacrifice on a first attempt at this, but I DID have a pair of beat up old ankle boots I got at Goodwill last year for $3. I also had a bunch of belts that *ahem* didn't quite fit anymore, due to.....well......pie. I gathered all my "junk":
2. I played with everything. There were some pretty ugly ones before I decided what I'd do. I cut the lace scarf in half. I chose a magenta belt for one boot, and a leather rope belt for the other. I chose some brass jewelry (one for each boot), and a couple of brooches. I even grabbed a charm from this etsy shop - it says "marches to the beat of her own drum". (I thought that one a clever addition to the boots.)
3. Once I decided on the "junk" that would be added to the boots, I had to decide on HOW to get it all on there. The end choice? HIGH temp hot glue. I know, I know. A woman and hot glue gun. Watch out world. I haven't worn these yet, so I don't know for sure that it will hold up, but I will edit this post if anything goes astray with an edit. Promise. :)
....a. First, I glued the scarf around the boot. Since these were ankle boots to begin with, I didn't need to fold them or anything. I just glued the half scarf how I wanted it draped all the way around the boot.
.....b. I put the necklaces on. Since I put the belts OVER the necklaces, and secured them down, they didn't need glue.
.....c. Belts. Glue on belt, belt on boot. Like I said above, not much of a tutorial, eh? ;)
.......d. brooches and charms. I tied on the charm and secured the knot with glue, and pinned on the brooches. I didn't commit to the brooches by securing them with glue, because I'm not sure I like them yet. (like the Art Deco Rose? I made it.)
and...................... voila!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My very own hobo/boho boots. I plan to wear these with a skirt I'm going to make sometime this week, of which I'll try to post a tutorial as well. I want to make a brown corduroy circle skirt with a tied waistband.
I'd love to see your boots!!!!!!!!! Link below, or just ask questions!
