How to Make Faux Boots

Boots can be one of the most expensive shoe purchases in your wardrobe, especially if you're interested in a leather look. Create faux boots at home using pants already in your closet or pick up an inexpensive pair from the thrift store. Faux-leather or matte-vinyl pants are great to mimic the look of a leather boot. With a few cuts from a pair of scissors, pant legs can be turned into boot fronts and slipped over a pair of flats or heels, depending on what style boot you would like to achieve.

Instructions

    1

    Lay the pants out on a flat surface, front side up. Use the scissors to cut across the pant legs. The higher up you cut, the longer the boots will be. Over the knee is a good starting length, as the pant leg always can be folded down to create a shorter boot look.

    2

    Use the scissors to cut a wedge into the outside pant seam near the bottom of the pant leg. The wedge should be 1-2 inches from the bottom of the pant leg.

    3

    Place the desired shoes on your feet, and step into each pant leg. The wedge will fit into the heel of the shoe, creating a stirrup for the shoe to hook onto. The inside pant seam will run down the front of your leg.
