Patchwork boots

I have covered my army boots in patchwork style fabrics.........I am sooooooooo pleased they turned out this good :) All I need to do now is coat them with a waterproof varnish or laquer and I'm good to go.

  1. This is a clever idea! I have a friend who lives in her old army boots, and paints them with acrylic paints. She'd love this idea too :-)

  2. How did you attach the fabric? Did these fair well over time? They are amazing!

  4. The patches are just attached with PVA glue (school glue/wood glue) which is white but drys clear and remains flexible. The patches did start to peel and driop off so I just went over them with another coating of glue. There are some things on the market that would seal the glue but I have never bothered with that. The boots were also initially a bit stiff but that wore off.
