DIY Boot Chains: Dress Up Your Favorite Boots
If they’re not already, boots should most definitely be a staple in your wardrobe. A pair of timeless black ankle boots have the ability to make even the sweetest of summer dresses suddenly feel tough, and take a simple jeans-and-tee look from “laundry day” to date night.
With the launch of FP collection boots, now there are even more options for the upcoming season, and I can’t wait to get my hands on a new pair for myself. But even the most amazing pair of boots can use some dressing up every now and then, which is where boot chains come in. I first encountered this unique jewelry at a flea market some years ago, where I purchased my first set of chains: A pair of gold novelty spurs from the ’70s (they’re amazing). Since then I’ve collected a few more sets, and today I’m showing you how to make your own!
Materials (makes two):
Chain in varying lengths and sizes
Approximately:
2 lengths of 7″ chain
2 lengths of 6″ chain
2 lengths of 5″ chain
4 lengths of 9″ chain
Long nose pliers
Jewelry O-rings
Jewelry fasteners (a hook fastener is the easiest to get on and off)
Since each pair of boots is different, I recommend wearing the boots while you work so you’re able to try on the boots chains as you assemble them. You’ll also be able to measure on your own foot, and make adjustments as you go.
