A couple of years ago I did a boot customisation. I took some gigantic boots and cut them down to be nice and fitted. You can see the original boots customisation tutorial over here.
It’s time for the sequel 😀 😀 😀
This time I took some poorly fitted weird boots my Mum was getting rid of and turned them into cute ankle boots!
I made these…
Out of these…

I love them now! Ok let’s get into it 😀 Things I used:
So let’s get into it! First I pulled up the cover part so I could see what I was dealing with. Easy enough, it was all fabric except for the bottom part which was faux leather.
So I cut off the top.
This was quite a cute shape but I had the idea in my head to make the front more the shape of a court shoe.
So I snipped it down into a “V” shape.
To finish off the raw edges I cut strips of black felt and stitched the around the edges.
They folded over to hide the edges.
Done:
Next I removed the faux fur trim around the old hood.
Done!
Then I stitched it around the edge of the shoe tops.
Then it was just about accessories!
I stitched two rows of chain coming from the fur.
Then added the crosses in. This is is much darker than my usual style but I really like it at the moment!
The charms are easily removable too so I could switch them out with something pinker later when the mood strikes me ^_^
DONE! It really didn’t take very long and it was quite fun to do.
Different from my usual style but very fun!
Now time to wear them!
What do you guys think?
