I cut the boot out of plain muslin, stitched it up, stuffed it, spray painted it black, and while it was still a little wet, sprinkled a little purple glitter on it.
Then I gathered up some old Christmas garlands, pulled them apart, spray painted some of it black, and left some of it sparkly.
Hot glued a bunch of it on top and embellished the boot with other Halloweeny stuff.
I think it turned out pretty cute. Not exactly like the one at Swiss Days but waaay less expensive. And you know what they say..."If the shoe fits...."

Oh my gosh how cute!!!
I have a pattern for a witches boot that I am going to make... I said this very same thing last year when I bought it. Maybe now I'll get around to it... Maybe... :)
Hey I tried to find you on Facebook but can't seem to.... You are on there right?
You clever gal...that is SO cute! I would never think to try that,mine would be a joke! I just love it...way to go! You crafty gals out there have my total respect!
Come say hi anytime :D
I can't even imagine how the one you saw could be cuter than the shoe you made! That is adorable!
Hi Mimi Sue
The witches shoe turned out fabulous! Why would you buy one when you can make such a great one yourself?
Hugs, Rhondi
great job!
I love it! I agree with the other ladies...WHY would you ever buy one, when you could make such a cute one yourself? Love the purple glitter! ♥
That is so darn cute! I love that you figured out a way to make it yourself!

OH my goodness! That is soooo cute! I DID go to swiss days AND saw the shoe, I ALSO "tried" it ON...AND found the PRICE did not fit! Yours is just as cute! Good job!
Mimi Sue,
Love your boot! The ones at swiss days were ordered wholesale, they did not make them. Yours, hand made and adorable.
Love, Joy
You are very creative!! That shoe turned out adorable.
Wow! It turned out really cute! Very creative!
Hugs, Susan
LOVE YOUR BLOG, STOP BY & SAY HI :) GIO
You did a GREAT job on your shoe! If you can design your own pattern and sew it up like that, I know you'll make a good quilter if you give it a try.
Mimi that is soooooo cool. It's amazing.

How I wish I could have crafted with you today! Love the boot!
ADORABLE!!!
That looks pretty dang good. I'm forwarding this to my mom--she was eyeballing them at Swiss Days too. Maybe I'll try to make one for her, since I can spray paint again. :)
Thanks for coming over yesterday--It forced me to pick up really well (and hide our basker of junk in the laundry room) and it still looks almost as clean today--except the couch cushions are currently piled up and being used as a slide. Forget the one outside it took Dad a week to assemble. ;)
Love it, Mimi!
Oy My Gosh! That turned out so wonderful!!
It is darling. I can't imagine the Swiss Days one being cuter. I've never been to Swiss Days but every year I want to go.
