    Get your supplies! Visit a jewelry store if you want to go a bit more expensive or order different kinds of beads and chains cheap online. Like I did ( not all of the stuff I used is visible in the picture, the second order of accessories came a day later).

    This part is of course optional as most of you will probably use an old boot with no bracelets attached. You can see on the picture the part where I can attach the belts. If you do not have that luxury, bind them all together and use a leather strip of clasp to drape the assortiment over the boot after you have put them on.
