What I made with an old pair of boots

Inspiration struck when I was about to throw away my daughters old boots. Halloween is just around the corner, the leaves are turning color and many of them are falling. Here, it has been very dry, until about 10 days ago, it started raining then, and in this short time we have had more than enough wet stuff.

However, the drought has turned the leaves crisp and many of them are falling already as you can see on the picture below.

A pair of boots and some wood

Two pieces of 2×4’s were nailed into a piece of 2×10 to form the base of this project.

Two uprights nailed on a board

Then it was painted Pumpkin orange and black to the sides.

Sewing the ruffle

Next the ruffle was made: purple with orange lace.

Taking shape

Left over trimming from a couple of Mason jars made for a nice touch along the top of the boots with the green and pearls adding some class.

With hot glue everything was tacked in place. Some scattered leaves from the Dollar store added just the right interest, as well the addition of a few bigger once on the side of the one boot.
