16. Beaded Fringe Leather Boots
Your footwear deserves a bohemian makeover too! Transform a plain pair of suede or leather ankle boots into a pair of stunning, festival-ready statement shoes. For this DIY, you will create detachable fringed boot cuffs that wrap around the ankles, meaning you can customize your boots without permanently altering them.
Cut a strip of leather or suede to fit around the shaft of your boot, securing it with snaps or a simple buckle. Cut long, thin fringe strips from the bottom of the band, and thread colorful glass seed beads, wooden beads, and brass feathers onto the individual fringe strands, securing them with small knots. As you walk, the beads clink gently and the fringe sways, adding beautiful movement, color, and sound to your stride.
