report: diy boot decoration


as mentioned below in the "dress up them boots" post, i promised to try this craft project. the boot decoration straps retail for around $65, and i ended up spending $15 at joann fabrics. i then wore them to a country concert and they held up just fine! see steps below:

1: hot glue a pretty ribbon on top of a thicker grosgrain ribbon

2: measure around top of boot with the ribbon and cut to size, then trim off an inch or two

3: measure a small piece of elastic to sew to either end of ribbon (making a circle), so it will be snug around top of boot

4: adhere a bow to outside of strap, or decorate with gems, etc.

5: wear!
