This is a super simple project, and so easy to customize! Just take an old pair of cowboy boots and some fabric paint and create your own custom painted boots! Take them from old and boring to new and sassy!

Start with a clean pair of boots - make sure your wipe off all dust, dirt, grime, grease, etc.
Now, paint! If you want to cover large areas of the boots, like I did with the toes, heels and tops, I recommend using an old cloth or rag to wipe the paint on in thin layers. For painting detail work, use a small brush.
Here's a helpful tip: stuff your boots with newspaper, magazine pages or used plastic bags to help them hold their shape while you work with them and pant!
Allow your boots to dry fully before wearing and showing them off proudly! ;) *To clean, use a damp cloth or non-abrasive cleaner.
I used Jacquard Lumiere fabric paints - whatever paint you use, I highly recommend paint made especially for leather/fabric. Think of all of the ways you can customize your own boots - try a stencil, draw your own beautiful pictures, cover the whole boot in paint and make yourself a completely new pair of boots!! Be creative and have fun! :)
