Whenever we go out of town dancing, I either have to pack my boots in my travel bag/suitcase, which takes up room, or carry them in the box and that can be cumbersome. So I decided to make me a boot bag! Yes, you can buy boot bags, but I wanted to make my own. Greg suggested using the pant legs of old jeans as I have done for him to carry his fishing poles in using the pant legs. This took me about a week as my first idea turned in to another idea, and then I basically went back to the first idea. What took the longest was fraying. I wanted to really have the worn look and with fraying (to make it look more even) you have to pull one string at a time to keep from snagging on what has already been frayed. I added the ribbon to the outside of the pant leg just to make it more feminine. I am going to play with more ideas to see what else I can come up with.
What a great husband – to hold the boot bag while you take a pic! 🙂 I saw some boot jewelry today at the craft fair I went to, but forgot to take a picture for you.
You are so talented, it turned out fantastic!
Thank you! I enjoy being creative once in a while!
