Then you should study the recommendations and photos.
How to decorate boots made of genuine leather with your own hands
You can find a lot of information on updating old shoes on the Internet. Most of the design options are sandals, shoes, ballet flats, but today we want to talk specifically about boots.
Decorating boots made of genuine leather can be divided into 3 methods:
- Adding decorative elements;
- Shape change;
- Changing the color scheme.
Which method you choose depends on your tastes, capabilities and desires. You can use two methods at the same time.
Reference! The most important thing is that your genuine leather shoes look normal afterward and you can go outside in them.
More details about each option:
- Adding decorative elements. On store shelves there are a huge number of different decorative elements that are perfect for decorating not only shoes, but also bags, cosmetic bags, clutches, clothes and even interior items. When purchasing decorative elements, be sure to pay attention to the company and the quality of the products. In addition, to attach parts, you need to purchase high-quality glue;
- Changing shape. This is the most difficult process of decorating old shoes made of genuine leather. If you make mistakes while working, they will be too noticeable. Calculate everything several times, and only then cut it off. Remember that it’s never too late to cut off the extra cm, but getting it back will be much more difficult;
- Changing the color scheme. This option, at first glance, seems to be the simplest. But this is only a first impression, because choosing the right paint is not an easy task. The difficult thing about the process itself is that the finished result can be seen after the product has completely dried. Fixing anything will not be so easy.
Decorating suede boots
Drawing is definitely not suitable for decorating suede boots. In most cases, the boot is decorated. You can knit an openwork boot that will be worn over the boot. In addition, the product can be decorated with various beads, ribbons, decorations, and sequins. The blank should slightly cover the heel. After this, the knitted boot is either sewn on or simply put on over the boots.
To a person who has never dealt with rhinestones, it seems quite difficult. Not really. It is necessary to take each rhinestone with an orange stick, spread it with glue and glue it to the surface of the boot.Keep in mind that you need to draw the ornament on the product itself in advance, and only then start decorating. After all the rhinestones stick well, you need to wipe the boots with a sponge. You can decorate boots with rhinestones in different ways. For example, make only a small pattern on the boot, or completely decorate the entire heel with stones.
