Description

Take some old boots out of your closet or buy them cheap, and dress them up to look like expensive festival gear!

Instructions

  1. Small 101798 2f2014 05 16 125627 sam 0963

    Start with your boot. I got mine from a cheap shoe store. Mine already had decoration so I took them off and saved them in case they looked good with everything later.

  2. Small 101798 2f2014 05 16 125740 sam 0964

    Get your supplies! Visit a jewelry store if you want to go a bit more expensive or order different kinds of beads and chains cheap online. Like I did ( not all of the stuff I used is visible in the picture, the second order of accessories came a day later).

    This part is of course optional as most of you will probably use an old boot with no bracelets attached. You can see on the picture the part where I can attach the belts. If you do not have that luxury, bind them all together and use a leather strip of clasp to drape the assortiment over the boot after you have put them on.

    Start making chains! Weave, knot, sew or create your own version. Add things together on the shoe to see wat works for you.

    You can see here how I linked them all together using metal loops of different sizes.

    The final product! After looking at the pictures I made I decided to take of the big pink pendants, because I thought it became too pinkish overal. Create your own style!

    After a day of deliberation I changed a few things. The Final final product!
