Description
PLEASE FULL VIEW, or view it here on tumblr!I’ve always hated doing shoe and boot covers until my friend introduced me to this method. Turns out it’s not very well known how to do it! So I decided to take some photos while I did my most recent ones and make a tutorial for others to use. This tutorial can be used for socks, shoe covers, spats, custom boots, and anything else you can think of!
I’m only covering how to make the pattern, not how to sew it because I feel like that part is pretty straight forward.
Skill level required: beginner
Time: ~1hr
Materials:
-shoes
-saran wrap
- tape
-pen
-paper scissors
-ruler
-butcher paper
- a body
- a friend!(not required, but VERY helpful!)
I've been doing the whole "wrap your leg in fabric and, lol, good luck getting it straight & fitting properly." method that there are 10+ tutorials for out there, but this is WAY easier in my opinion!

I literally just did this today. lol I do this part before even buying materials so I can get just the right amount(I'm so poooor). I'll be getting paid tomorrow so I'll most likely get the fabric then. I did use this method to make the boots for my and my friend's starlight boots, though. [link]

No problem! I didn't include sewing it because other boot cover tutorials are pretty much the same on that part. This just covers the patterning part since that is more complicated than sewing.
These two cover sewing/attaching to shoes the same way I do. [link] [link]
