Upcycled boots!

« Colorful Creative Escape - Gelatos Techniques | Main | Behind the Scenes at CHA »

Hello, Colleen here.

I upcycled an old pair of cool Dr. Martens Leather boots by embellishing them with a hand drawn flower design using Design Memory Craft Pitt Artist Pens in Metallic, and super fine black along with Big Brush Stampers Pens. I then added hot fix crystal rhinestones for “bling”. I just love that I found new life for a pair of old boots!

((p.s see my inspiration picture in the background of a pair of new Dr. Martens boot design!))
