Ok. The hard part is over- I have some boots that I can transform. However, they're just old, black leather, and not shiny happy purple and silver fun boots. I was planning on just spray painting them, but I don't know how well that would work on them. Any ideas? arigato!

I remember I transformed some boots one time just by sewing what fabric I was going to use directly onto the boot. It hurt my hand like crazy but it actually looked decently well.

But for this, I really wouldn't know. I usually try and get the closest thing to my reference as humanly possible.

ok. I read someplace they have "leather paint" but its kinda hard to find *groan*.

Maybe I'll just end up sewing it. T-T

Leather paint is nice and so is getting that steel toe she has going on there with her boots. I would love doing that part.

Yea, Im going to try to find some type of chrome paint. I know they have it in spray paint, so maybe they have some in acyrlic. If not, I can just get silver acrylic. No biggie.

Spraypaint seems like a good idea, but it'll make your boots smell for a long long long time. I did it on a leather belt once and i couldn't wear it cuase it smelt so bad. But if you need too use it, do and you'll eventatly get used to the smell...after all your braincells die...

lol. and it cracks off when you move, too

That it does. The best thing for Yuna boots is to either sew the fabric on the boot or use leather paint; however, that has already been said. For the silver acrylic paint may be the best choice; however, in the house paint there are some silver spraypaint that with a shinning spray will look almost like metal.

Yea, Im using some Liquitex acrylic purple paint and then once I do that I'm gonna go and get some in silver. I think it'll work, it said it'd work on vinyls and that it was flexible. ^__^ *fingers crossed*

Good luck Laura! Tell us if it works out.

Thanks! Im definetly going to tell you all what happens!
