DIY embellished Goodwill rain boots...



Can you believe this entire outfit came from Goodwill?
I asked my friends if I could take their family holiday photo. Naturally I made them all wear Goodwill holiday clothing. Yes it was all adorable. You can watch the video here: http://thriftingdenver.org/2011/12/07/holiday-photos-start-at-goodwill/
I bought a pair of Goodwill rain boots and because I look at Pinterest alll daaay....I just copied a pair of boots that I saw. These boots cost about $6.00 at Goodwill.

Here is what you will need: rubber boots, ribbon (I like the wider silky ribbon), and a leather punch. I found the punch at JoAnn Fabrics for around $8.00.
I just eyeballed the measurement. You can put it wherever you want it,
just make sure both sides are the same.
I actually punched two holes right next to each other making a larger opening so the ribbon would fit through.

Light the end of the ribbon to seal the edge.



One for each girl! I think they turned out so cute!
