Refashioned Combat Boots Using Floral Embroidered Patches

by Sew Much Love Mary

This was the first time that I refashioned shoes! I would usually steer clear of shoes, because I felt refashioning them was too difficult. I can wrestle with multiple layers of tulle and slippery chiffon, but I was intimidated by shoes, hehe. I got these pink combat boots a couple of years ago, and while I still love them, I felt they needed a little revamp.

Lately, I've really been loving the embroidered floral trend. I bought these patches back in December and used them to make this refashioned top. I had originally bought the patches to refashion these boots, but like I mentioned before, I was still intimidated by the thought of refashioning shoes.

SUPPLIES I USED:

- Floral Embroidered Patches The ones I originally bought are sold out, but I found these similar ones.

- Leather & Suede GlueSince my boots were made out of suede, I needed a glue that would work for that.I bought this one here.

- Small BrushI used an old one that I had in my craft box. Any small-ish brush will work. :)

1. I covered the back of the patch with the leather and suede glue, using my brush.

2. *Not pictured* (Sorry, no photo of this step, because I was using both of my hands to hold the patch!)I carefully grabbed the patch and placed it on my boot. I pressed down for a bit.

3. After placing the patch on my boot, I went and filled in the little corners that didn't get fully glued down. (As show by the circle)
