1. Glue approximately ten studs to the toe of each boot.
2. Cut out two rectangles of faux leather, each one approximately 5-inches long by 3.5-inches wide.
3. It’s time to make the knot clusters! Using the thin chains, simply
tie the two strands together to form a knot. Keep going until the chain
strands are completely knotted. Using super glue, glue the chain
clusters to the faux leather rectangle.
Tip: Leave bits of chain hanging off to create a purposefully undone look.
4. Fill in the gaps where you can still see the faux leather by gluing
on small braided bits of embroidery floss, small bits of lace, buttons,
charms, chunky chain, and pearls.
Tips: Don’t be afraid to pile it on for a more
dimensional look. Pull apart the embroidery floss and the lace for a
frayed, grunge feel.
5. Attach two strips of adhesive Velcro to the back of the leather
rectangle along the right and left edges. Peel off the backing and
attach the embellished leather rectangle to the boot.
Embrace the ‘90s feel by pairing your newly embellished boots with a simple black dress and a plaid flannel tied around the waist.
