: Pretty Faux Fur DIY Boot Shapers from Water Bottles Fashion + DIY + Lifestyle. Let me first start by saying that this may be one of my all-time favorite DIYs EVER… and I think my best DIYs come from pure necessity and/or a real desire to have something fabulous that I can’t find elsewhere.
For instance, I can NEVER find really great boot shapers… thus, some of my boots are lying flat in their original boxes & others are standing with their original paper boards & tissue paper that came with them {very unchic!}. Really, when it comes down to it, I don’t want to spend money on boot shapers but I also don’t want to look in my closet and see a bunch of wine bottles or plastic bottles sticking out of my shoes.
So this is my solution… and as soon as I finish more SmartWater bottles, I’ll be making sets for all my boots in my closet. NOTE: Though this DIY is not complicated, there are a lot of steps. What You’ll Need… * SmartWater bottles {two 33.8 fl.oz.bottles per each boot stay}* Scissors* Duct Tape* Hot Glue Gun {I started with Mod Podge – big mistake! Steps… Voila!
