Floral Boots DIY

We're just a little too excited about spring around here! This season we're feeling all things floral. Here's a cute and do-able DIY that made our plain-jane pair of boots feel fancy...

Supplies Needed: Plain boots with laces (we got ours a K-Mart!), pretty fabric (emma is doing her pair with striped fabric... i'll share them soon!) note: use lightweight cotton- nothing too bulky or stiff, Glue, Mod Podge + an exacto knife. 

Here's how we did it: 1. Glue fabric to the part of you boots you'd like to cover. Brush the glue (or Mod Podge) on and let the fabric dry. One great thing about using a floral pattern is that you don't have to be so exact about matching the pattern. Ours was pretty messy! 2-3. Use an exacto knife to cut around the edge of the boot. Take your time to cut clean lines. 4. Use Mod Podge to secure the edges of the fabric. This will keep them from fraying and make them boots more durable. ♥ 

Ta-Da! I'm so happy with these boots. I can't wait to wear them with lace tights and sun dresses. Maybe even a glass of lemonade! xo. elsie

This is incredible! The touch of floral fabric is just enough, and it makes these boots so sweet and one-of-a-kind. I've really been impressed with your shoe projects...they come out so polished!
