Remember my beauteous boho boots?
Check out what I created from the chopped off boot tops:
A fabulous beatnik bag!
Here’s The DIY Boot Top Bag Refashion Tutorial:
I snagged the chopped boot tops & a coordinating necktie.
sliced off that rather annoying fringe
placed one on top of the other & trimmed off the uneven edges
grabbed one boot top & centered the necktie around the edges right sides facing
and stitched it on
twisting the tie around the edges for perfect corners
then zigzagged the edges for extra strength
and repeated the process with the remaining boot top on the other side of the tie
then flipped the bag right side out & stitched the ends of the tie together to complete the fancy new strap
and added a quick button closure to finish off my groovy new bag!
Love it!

Whoa, that is seriously awesome. I even have a pair of boots to toss because the heel caved in. I’d been thinking of making a belt from them, but I just might change my mind now! 🙂 Lisa

As always, great idea!
Danke! 😉
That’s awesome! I would have never thought of that, great idea 🙂
Lieben Dank Lotte! Das beste? Es war sehr einfach zu machen! 😉
Die einfachen Projekte sind immer die Besten 🙂
Nice upcycle!
Thanks very much…I was actually thinking of using it as an on-the-go knitting bag as the necktie strap ended up having 2 skinny pockets up the center perfect for storing knitting needles & the bag is more than large enough for 4 or more balls o’ yarn! …now, if only I could knit! 🙂
You can’t knit?! Shame on you! Lol There’s no time like the present!
Looks great! I wish I had your skills!
Dude! You have so many awesome-kitchen-skills I honestly wish we could trade brains for the day so I could somehow soak up a tiny bit of your bento-fabulousness! 😉
Well thank you but if I remember correctly your first bento was mega awesome anyway so there :p
But swapping brains could be fun haha
