Probably, each of us has in our wardrobe some oversized boots or ankle boots that have not yet failed, but are already a little fed up, bored or just out of trend? But wait, get rid of them! Having awakened in yourself creative impulses and with a little effort, it is quite possible to turn your slippers into updated and original shoes, for which the catwalks may cry.

There is a lot of information about self-updating and decorating shoes. Basically, it is proposed to arrange summer shoes, sandals, flip flops, ugg boots, felt boots, etc. But not much has been written about demi-season shoes. Although, than she did not deserve creative attitude? In my shoe arsenal, black high boots with heels of a very traditional form and without a single decor have long been lying around. When I bought them, I wanted a strict classic with no frills. But now they seem so boring to me that I almost abandoned them. They look something like this:

However, the thought of saving them did not leave me. And I set out to transform them at all costs! But behind my shoulders I had only a long-standing experience in decoration summer sandals, to which I just sewed a brooch-flower. Therefore, I decided to understand the intricacies of decor and updating boots.

Basically, shoe decoration can be divided into three methods:
1) adding details - when, without changing the shape and color of the shoe, various trinkets such as rhinestones, beads, locks, fringes, flowers, etc. are sewn or glued to it,
2) change of shape - when different ways, the shape of the shoe changes completely or partially,
3) color change - when the color of the shoes changes completely or partially, or a pattern is applied.

Which method to choose depends on your desire and on the characteristics of the shoe. It is not forbidden to use several methods at once. And the main thing, as always, is to remember the measure. Let's go over each of the methods.

Method one.

In online stores you can find many offers to buy various details for decorating, not only clothes, but also shoes, bags: these are all kinds of stars, beads, brooches, rhinestones, leather tassels, ribbons, etc. But most of the proposed options are disposable, therefore it is important to pay attention to brand credibility, product certification and product life. In addition, you need a good and high-quality glue. Before attaching parts, try testing the mechanism on some old thing. And do not forget about the sketch, the contours, which also need to be prepared in advance.

Decor is common with cuffs, which are sold separately. They can sometimes hide any imperfections in the upper part of the shoe.

Lace cuffs look a little unusual. But knitted details are always relevant and warm.

Homemade flowers made of leather or other materials look nice, which are usually attached to the top of the boots.

Abundance bright colors on boots, a small, novice fashionista must definitely appreciate.

Method two.

He is the most laborious and responsible. If you miss a little, then inaccuracies will be noticeable to the naked eye. Before cutting, you need to weigh everything thoroughly several times, then carefully measure and calculate, and it is better to sketch out a sketch. It turns out to be quite easy to turn ordinary brown shoes into stylish and bright ones - to match the spring. To transform them, you will need: variegated fabric, glue, scissors or a special shoe knife, and decoupage glue to hide the uneven edges of the glued material.

Method three

The last of the methods seems to be the simplest and most affordable. But this is only at first glance, since there are many wisdoms about how to choose the right paint, and how to apply it, dry it, etc. The disadvantage of this procedure may be that the final version of painting or drawing will be clear, as a rule, after drying the product, when it is rather difficult to fix or alter something ... For painting certain places, paper adhesive tape will always come to the rescue. Someone can do a simple, unpretentious drawing, while someone who knows firsthand with a brush and paints can decide on more daring experiments.

And here is an example when several decoration methods are used at once.

Soon the wet-slushy season, in which rubber boots are very appropriate. In the classic version, they do not look very attractive, so modern manufacturers are trying to transform them in various ways. But why not do it yourself? Add ribbons, cuffs, or even fun coloring them.

Well, if your slippers are already completely old, then they can always be attracted to the decor of the garden!

I admit that I have not yet undertaken updating my black boots. But, inspired by the wonderful ideas presented above, I think that soon I will nevertheless decide on my own design experiment. I hope my inspiration goes to you too! Create and be unique!

Every girl and woman wants to be unique and unrepeatable. And this is expressed not only in the hairstyle or hair color, but also in clothes and shoes in particular. Designer shoes cost prohibitive money, but you can get out of the situation with the help of hand-made. Homemade exclusive jewelry for shoes - that's what we'll be talking about now. Indeed, now we will talk about how to decorate boots.

Jewelry for rubber boots

Boring solid color boots for bad weather can be revived by decorating with a custom print of your own making. So we are preparing:

Stencil.

Sandpaper.

Acrylic paints or automotive varnish / spray / rubber paint.

Before starting painting, it is necessary to clean the work surface with sandpaper and degrease it with special means. Then, through the stencil, apply the outline of the drawing and paint it with paint. After the paint has dried, we fix the drawing with an auto varnish. The drawing can be either simple, strict geometric, or more cheerful in the form of flowers, fantastic butterflies, be guided by your Casual style clothes.

By the way, drawing can do more than just liven up a boring look. rubber boots, but also to hide the defects that have appeared. If you are an artist by nature, it will give you one spit at all, but if you have never had a penchant for drawing, then stencils that can be downloaded from the Internet will always help you out. Take a stencil, spray paint for a car, and voila, a unique and original drawing flaunts on your shoes.

Decorating suede boots

Do-it-yourself decorating women's winter boots is a very exciting experience. Knitted details look especially good on suede. Even a whole knit boot with the right thread and knit style will look great. If you are an expert in knitting, then this will not be difficult for you at all. The only difficulty is choosing between geometric and floral designs. The knit can be flat or convex by itself, or it can also be decorated with original buttons, beads, strasses, braid. Remember that a properly tied boot should slightly hide the base of the heel. The sewn-on elements are easily replaced with new ones as they are damaged, lost, or because they are tired and want to update the image.

Jewelry on leather boots

All our recommendations can be useful for those people who do not know how to decorate cracks in old boots. Ah, how glittering iridescent rhinestones look spectacular on tall black leather boots with high heels! By the way, rhinestones decorate not only the bootleg, but also the heels of boots, fortunately, their height allows you to turn around in work. What we need to decorate:

• Stencil.
• Tweezers or tweezers for gripping rhinestones.
• Shoe glue (E 6000, SuperMoment, etc.), and a syringe for precise (point) application of glue to the desired place.

Degrease the surface, apply the ornament through a stencil. Pour the glue into the syringe, not forgetting to close its nose so that the glue does not leak out and dry out. Gluing rhinestones should not be difficult.

How to stick them correctly?

We cling to the rhinestone on the wax stick and on its inner side apply glue. Next, immediately glue it to the desired place in the ornament. After the drawing is completely dry, wipe it with a cloth to remove wax residues. If there is a thin light pattern of rhinestones on the bootleg, then the heel can then be safely pasted over with them entirely. And if the pattern of rhinestones is dense enough on the bootleg, then a thin graceful line of them should be put on the heel.

How to update old, but favorite boots

To begin with, we completely tidy up worn-out shoes, it is better to do this by handing over the boots to a reliable workshop. In the meantime, we prepare at home pieces of multi-colored leather, jewelry, buttons, brooches, etc., in a word, everything that may be useful in decor.

Heavily worn places will be most conveniently hidden with the help of an applique. For this, pieces of canvas, fur, leather will fit. First, we apply the outline of the pattern to the bootleg, then we cut out the details of the pattern from the desired texture, and glue it all onto the boot with rubber glue.

While the boots are being repaired, you can slightly complicate the prepared materials - weave a pigtail or lattice from fabric or canvas, and cut flowers from leather in advance, make fur pom-poms. You can prepare appropriate themed decorations - for Christmas, for example.

1. Sequins

All you need is PVA glue, a brush and glitter. All you have to do is spread glue and glitter over clean, dry shoes, which are easy to find in the office supply or craft stores. Remember to spread something on your work surface before you start creating. You can decorate all shoes with sequins, soles, heels, noses, or apply a sequin pattern. If you are decorating only part of the shoe, glue the joint with the other surface with paper tape for the duration of work to avoid smudges. Use adhesive stencils for shiny designs. You can combine sequins with other designs, such as stones (see photo with sneakers).

2. Rhinestones, stones, sequins and other decor

Large parts can be put on superglue or with a hot gun. Practice on other objects to control the thickness of the layer before applying hot glue. Create unique pebble designs on any part of the shoe. Using tweezers to apply pebbles can be much more convenient and the drawing will be more accurate. When applying a drop of glue to the rhinestone, take into account the required amount. If there is too much glue when pressed, it will flow out of the pebble. Any shoes can be glued decorative elements, rhinestones, stones, metal fragments, chains, cords, spikes, buttons, ready-made sequin ribbons, etc.

You can measure a piece of lace on the shoe, trim it with thick sequins, glue the lace to the shoe, sew again with threads for additional fixation, then fill in the gaps by gluing large rhinestones. The final touch is to trim off any excess lace if any.

3. Brooches, flowers, bows, fringes, tassels

A very simple way. It is enough just to glue or pin brooches, bows or flowers. Be sure to glue the fringe and very carefully so that excess glue is not visible. You can simply hang the tassels on the strap of your favorite sandals.

4. Fur and feathers

It might look amazing. Choose fur to match the shoe or contrasting, stick on fluffy pom-poms or luxurious feathers. You don't have to limit yourself in quantity. The main thing is that everything should look beautiful. Get inspired by expensive designer shoes. Choose original solutions where to glue the pompom or in which direction to direct the feathers.

5. Stickers on the outsole

There are a lot of similar stickers now, but the most popular are Shoelicks, because They promise great resistance to weather conditions and are suitable for any shape of the sole. Without removing the protective layer, you need to attach the sticker to the sole, fold the edges in shape, cut out the sticker, then remove the protective layer and gradually stick it so that no air gets in. You can find very beautiful drawing stickers and make your shoes personalized.

6. Painting and painting

Someone uses a special waterproof paint or marker to paint any surface on the shoes, others paint the sole and heel with nail polish, others use paint in a spray bottle to create ombre effects. Do not forget to cover those parts that should remain unpainted. The beauty of these methods is that you create a whole work of art. For those who are unsure of their own artistic ability stencils are great.

7. Shoelaces

If you are satisfied with the condition of your shoes, but appearance it seems already tired try experimenting with laces. Insert colored laces or ribbons. You can use several colors at once. Try it new way lacing.

8. Fabric

Handicraft lovers can put a pre-cut piece of lace on glue and create absolutely the new kind your shoes. Another very elegant solution is to sew a draped decor for your beloved couple. You can use a scrap or handkerchief you don't need to tie around your fingers or strap. Make sure it is comfortable to wear, because the fabric will create extra thickness. Better to lay the fabric smoothly. If necessary, you can fix the ends inside with tape or even put on glue if you decide to wear it always.
