My thrifting karma brought me a pair of super comfy but terribly dull rain boots just in time for the arrival of the wet and windy days of April in Toronto. Thankfully my refashionista stash contained the perfect ingredient to liven up those boring wellies:
Grab my DIY Upcycled Denim Rain Boot Refashion and whip up some fab removable, washable embellishments for your galoshes too!
Snag a pair of old jeans, scissors, rubber boots + your trusty glue gun.
Chop the legs off of the jeans.
Chop the hems off of the jeans (& save them to make some groovy bangles with my easy how-to).
Slice the legs into long strips (mine are about 4cm wide).
Launder the denim strips to achieve a fab fray.
Stitch a bunch of the strips together end to end – I used 8 for each boot wrap.
Stitch the open ends together to create a huge loop of frayed denim.
Wrap a denim loop around each boot and enjoy your groovy (removable & washable) embellishments!
*if you want your denim to be more permanent simply hot glue the strips to the boots as you’re wrapping.
