- At this point if you are having another colour add the second colour, then set aside to dry completely.
- Cut the printed napkin strip(s) to match the curve of the boot (along the tongue or the upper (vamp) part of the show).
- Use a paintbrush and apply mod podge or a sealant to adhere the printed napkin on the boot. Let it dry completely.
- If you want a print on the upper (band) of the boot do the same as step 4.
- Add trimming: decorative tape, grosgrain cut ribbon and studs/beads to adorn the front and back of the boot. Use hot glue or heavy-duty glue to adhere the trims one by one to the boot. (View images). Let it dry completely.
- Use a fine-tip chalkboard pen to write ‘Hunter’ or a guest’s name on the front of the boot. Brush lightly with a sealant (Mod Podge works!)
- Fill the boot with plants, holiday décor, or cutlery!
