DIY Paint Splatter Boots

I painted these boots last year after reading the DIY on Annie Spandex. I've shown how to make these boots before on the blog, but I really love them, and since it's DIY day at Everybody Everywear, I thought I'd do a quick post on them again.



To make these boots you'll need: white boots, fabric paint, fabric medium, water, rubber bands, newspaper and a spray bottle.


I bought these boots for $5 several years ago and they never felt quite right, so I decided they'd be perfect for this.





First, twist the legs of the boots and divide with several rubber bands, as if you were going to tie-dye them.





Lay the boots on newspaper. Mix one part paint with two parts paint medium and a little water. Spray boots. I let mine dry for a few minutes and then sprayed a second color on.








Allow boots to dry overnight. Then untwist them and take off the rubberbands. Pretty easy!


How I styled them yesterday...




Vintage Shorts: Thrifted, $3. Vintage Sweater: Thrifted, $5., Bag: Charlotte Russe: $5.

    Now that is tooo cool! I can totally do that myself. I like the tie-dye effect with the twisting of the rubber band! Very Nice!

    That is cool! I bet it would be fun to do lots of different colors or even metallics.

    Those are awesome! So glad you showed them again. My niece and her best friend actually splatter painted a pair of hooker boots for me for my bday! I can't zip them up my legs yet but hopefully when I lose some weight I will be able to! ha.

    The splatter boots really came out cute! And I would have thought it'd just look like mud splattered but it looks very well done~Thanks I may try it on my pair....
