Witch's Boots Tutorial

Finally what everyone has been asking me about, how to make a pair of Witch's boots like the ones on the Halloween tablescape, see here:

While I can't take the credit for making those cute little boots, I'll show you a way you too can make your own.  It all starts with a visit to the thrift shop.

These are the ones I decided to purchase, a dark brown pair for five dollars

I used some gloss black spray paint and sprayed them two coats.

I used Air Dry Clay, you can find it at Michael's the Arts and Crafts Store and a water spray bottle, you'll need to spray the clay because it gets dry very easily.

I used the clay to mold a piece that will go at the end of the boots:

I affixed these tips to the boots to mold and make sure I get a snug fit.  Let the tips dry for 24 hours.

Next, spray paint the tips with the spray paint to match the boots and adhere them with hot glue

see, how clever:

Next, we'll hide the seam around the tip with ribbon, I liked the ribbon so much I adhered it all the way to the top.  Use your hot glue gun to adhere the ribbon to your boot

Next, get some more ribbon or some shoe laces, mine are actually purple but all the pictures I took came out blue.  Use your heat gun to adhere the shoe lace criss cross all the way up.

Tie a bow at the top

next, use some fabric or paper or tulle to make a bow.  I used tulle and added a button

You can't wear them but you can use it as home decor for Halloween

I'm using them on my Halloween table

Thanks for coming by, hope you liked this tutorial.  Let me know if you try it, I'd like to see how yours come out.
