Boot Fix

Hi! Erica here again. My second project, involved a shoe fix. These boots were purchased 3 years ago. They were my ultimate boots throughout pregnancy during winter months.

I wore them to death, look at the state of their heels...


Taking some fabric from my stash, which used to be material covering a toiletry bag in a state of disrepair. 20c op shop purchase of course.

I used Mod Podge, and black craft ribbon, to cover the damaged heels.



Happy new shoes! Blogged here

Wow. that's a stunning change.

Do be careful in the rain/snow because the Mod Podge can be affected by water. you might want to put some sort of shoe wax over it.

I've rejected many a thriftstore pair of boots due to damage. This opens up a whole new world.

I'm with Reverse Fashion on this one! I'm going to have to look at my shoesies and see if any of them are ready for this treatment. :)

Such a great idea! I love how you extended the life of your shoes! And getting the same repair done by a professional would have cost you $80 or more!
