Dress Up your old Boots for Winter

I love this idea for dressing up old boots with fabric; what a new way to give your boots a trendy look or a mod revamp for the winter ahead.

Take a look at how easy it is to revamp an old pair of boots with a little ModPodge and pretty patterned fabric. Allyou need to do is find the right fabric and the rest of this project is easy.

 

 

1. While this project is best done on pleather boots, you can also do it on leather boots. Begin with a pair of pleather or leather boots and make a paper pattern of the boot. I like to tape the paper to the boot and sketch the shape with a pencil. Add a little extra to the length and the back-side seam.

 

 

2. Trace the pattern to the backside of the fabric. Be sure to position the pattern over your desired print pattern. Cut out the shape with scissors.

 

 

 

3. Apply ModPodge by brushing this over the entire back of the fabric piece.

 

 

4. Position the piece of fabric nicely on the boot. Smooth any air bubbles out from the centre to the edges with your finger. Trim the over hang with sharp scissors.

 

 

5. On the other side of the boot, begin the zipper side. You will need to make two different patterns for the zipper side. Apply to the boot. Repeat pattern, mod podge and apply the second zipper side. Overlap the fabric along the back seam. Trim to smooth. Allow to dry!
