So happy to see you partnered with Factor. My husband and I have eaten their wonderful meals for two years. They are the yummiest!!! The Sundried tomato chicken with zucchini noodles is my favorite. Back to boots, I can’t believe how easy these are!! Amazballs

Great idea!

Omg. Creative overload. Rhinestones up the back? Yes. Pearls on white leather? Also yes. Steel tacks? Yup. Fringe? A big fat yes. Also, snap tape or Velcro could be used in a creative way as fasteners. What a cool way to give boots more versatility! Bravo!

😭 I don’t need more ideas! 😂

I used to make similar for my son who is an actor and used to perform in Shakespeare plays. I will tell you a little secret.. whenever i would see old leather sofas thrown out, I would cut the leather from the back of the sofa.. no matter how old and run down the sofa was, the back of the sofa is always unused. Why throw out perfect leather!

These would be perfect for traveling. I could take my ankle boots and different sets of these to change up the look.

Wow!!! Those fold-over boots are so cool! They are all so nice. I loved the white pair. Then I saw the olive-colored ones. They are amazing. The black pair look so good on you, too. You blow me away. You are so creative. I don't know how you come up with the patterns for each and every thing you re-create. You are amazing!

This is great for ppl like my daughter who has wide calf’s and most boots don’t fit her calf’s so now I can make her a pr! I’ve done this before yrs ago (literally in 1995) uuuggg shows my age 😂 but I as “leg warmers” I used an old sweater! Growing up in Alaska we didn’t have store’s to get in style fashion & shipping was worse than now! so I had to be creative 😊 I seriously made my own clothes that’s why I love Orly! She’s like a younger me from the past bringing the future 😊💕 But also brings knee ideas as well Love your Orly!

Girrrrlllll. This is the diy I didn't know I needed🎉 You did that!!! I can't wait to make my red fold over boots. I'm thinking about dyeing some white ones than finding matching fabric. I. Can't. Wait.

I love this!!!!!!! It will be perfect to make a thigh high version that I can add to any of my photography clients’ own booties that they bring to the shoot!

You never disappoint even if I think I couldn’t wear the fashion, I appreciate your technique, your style and your teaching skills! Keep these videos coming Orly! ❤

I watched this before my morning coffee. Got a creative brain buzz without caffeine. I love boots so much I wear them in the summer heat. Thank you a million times for this genius diy. It makes the process of transforming a pair into tailor made simple and accessible. Bravo Orly!

oh yessss

You sound like me. I'm bad about drinking my one cup of coffee, getting busy, starting to feel a bit queasy & and realizing it's 2 or 3 in the afternoon, and I haven't eaten since last night. Lol Really cute idea. It's not something I could get away with wearing, considering I'm 64 years old, but something I could make for my 25 year old daughter. Lol My mind was putting studs along the seams. Since studs can come in a variety of metal finishes as well as shapes like round, square, and star, there are so many possibilities. I was also thinking on the thinner fabric, as a sewist, that reinforcing piece on the side could be stitched down close on both edges.Thanks for sharing an easy change to ankle boots. ❤

@TheDIYDesigner TBH, I do pretty much wear whatever I want to. No miniskirts, but that wasn't my thing anytime the style rolled around. My style is more of the Boho Hippie style. I love the long skirts made from jeans, I'll be making a few for winter since coastal Georgia's Summer and Fall are still hot and humid. Lol I've been looking at a pair of pull on linen pants I have that might be a good candidate though. Lol Thanks for all of the neat tips, trucks and modifications. ❤️

YEEES!😀 I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE BOOTSCOVER👍😀🤍 and you making this is so cool - imagine ALL your favorite low, ankles and so on shoes you now can make into fabulous boots and how ever you want them👍👍👍

Love these ! I’ve actually had this same idea for years. I’ve been collecting for years now all the fabric & even faux fur stockpiled in my sewing room. But I’ve just have never done.🤷🏼‍♀️. IT IS NOW TIME ❣️Thank you for your inspiration, information & encouragement. Been a huge fan of yours for years. Love U & all your encouraging vibes. Thank you ❣️❣️❣️

Uhhh ma’am where have you been with this hack??!!!! Yesssss big calf and wide foot girl hack needed!!!! It is crazy how you have cute boots in your closet that fits you well except in the calf area and you don’t want to get rid of them!!!! Thank you for this hack because shoes are too expensive these days to just throw them in the trash

Why do I SO want to try this and make a slight DETAIL along the seam> I used to see people do something like this with old socks and have a leg warmer look but this is SO nice. Now you understand why I LOVE boots.

Really amazing! I love the way you always explain the details so clearly. It’s a treat to watch your videos on a Sunday morning.

thank you! Im so happy to hear that!

I am so happy to have found your channel! You are talented and personable. You really inspire me! I am binge watching your videos. I am already making a list of design ideas to take with me to the thrift stores. Since altering and upcycling is brand new to me, I am going to buy thrift items at the lowest price, no matter what the size. I will use these pieces to practice learning my new skills. If they turn out well, I will then donate them to my local domestic abuse center. Everybody wins!

Yes yes yes. All of them look sleek and high end. My favs are the olive ones with the split. Adding the strip over the seam took it up a notch. Very nice. I'll be making these with a twist👍🏾

😍 Love the look of each boot especially the slouchy white boots ,cute. Good job.

Great idea. I wear skirts and dresses almost year round, so boots are a must. But they're soooo expensive and also take up a lot of storage space.

Oh this is amazing. I have a large remnant from recovering my dining room chairs. A bazillion years ago, I looked at that and thought: would make great over the knee boots....I can make the dream come true, now.

Orly, you are genius! Absolutely in love with those boot covers ❤

Great idea!! Thank you for sharing. For the top edge you can use the double sided tape to sharpen the edge and keep the seam allowance tag down. Blessings!

I've been wanting to do this for years. Motivated!

Omg it just keeps getting better! I wish i were half this talented! I am so excited to do this!

thank you!!

Orly you level of creative genius is astounding! Absolutely spot on brilliant! I’d like to offer a lazy girl hack if anyone is interested. Instead of using a big and bulky traditional iron use the straightener for your hair! It will save a lot of time, fit so much better and make it much easier. Plus you can choose the exact temperature setting needed for your particular fabric to create the crispest seams! However I would recommend using parchment paper on the actual flat iron plates if you are still using it on your hair as any buildup of product could damage or stain the fabric. ❤ from Shannon in Canada 🇨🇦 PS-If you have a wee bit of extra money it might be wise to pick up a very inexpensive straightener to use solely on fabric. Honestly I never use my traditional iron anymore because the $12.99 straightener is far better in pretty much every way.

Just in time for fall boots! Another good one!

This is neat. Now I need to get some ankle boots and save some money.

The white ones look like the 80s snuck back in for an encore performance. I had a pair of red ones - with a big buckle - in 1986 that look just like those. Cute DIY!

Omg, these are so cute!!! Love the customizable!!

finallyyyyyyyy i was looking for sooooo long!!! like yearssss! thank youuuu

Thank you so much! Love these!❤ perfect timing for fall🍁🍂, beautifully styled as always.😁👍

Love this!!!! Def trying this out this weekend!

MARVELOUS!!! Now I need to find a great fabric store near me

I can't wait to try this

Oh! my! GOLLY!!! Girrrll you have done it again!! I’ve got 3 pairs of short boots and a pair of heels that I’ve been racking my brain as to how I’m going to update them… me and my 24” calves thank you!!!!!

Great idea girlfriend, but where's the fringe, buckles and laces? You need to add adornments!!! 😂

Immediately thought “leg warmers” from decades past! I’ll have to do a pair to go over my work boots when the weather gets cold.

Thank you so much for sharing! This is awesome!

Love them all

So cool!!!

This was insane ty❤

Yes all the way, it's brilliant.

Woow perfect for this summer ☀️ 😊 I loves them 👢👢 thank you Orly 😊

Holy Cow, those are expensive! Who spends 850 bucks on a pair of simple, black ballet flats? They don't look much different, than other ballet flats with a strap, though. Are you asking for a way, to attach an elastic band yourself?

What a great idea

I really need to figure out how I am going to save my boots that are peeling but I want something more permanent fix. I don't think that glue really going to hold up under the stress of wear do you? And if not what your strategy? Thanks for sharing and blessings to you and all in the days to come.

I bought a duplicate of a suede jacket I already had, planning to make a matching purse. That hasn’t happened 😂 Boot covers made from the matching jacket may be a better idea…

Fun & cute!

How do you keep the piece you made in place and from not slipping down the leg?

You snapped!

Very cool 😀

Brilliant!

What size/kind of needle did you use and what thread did you use to sew the leather?

Nailed it!!!!!💅🏿🎉

I love this

These are amazing Orly! I had an idea similar after I bought a "Hippee" costume yrs back that had the entire kit. Instead of boots, it contained boot covers...which I thought was ingenious! I actually wanted to recreate that look but sorta forgot abt it. SO, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for reminding us! As I sometimes have a calf bigger than the boot. My thought...to do it over shoes. Ikr! You're welcome. 😉 Happy Fall! ❤

oh yes!! do it!

Even doing the lining a different color and wearing it folded down would be pretty. You might have to do a different fastener though.

Awesome!

Can you please let me know how think the faux letter fabric was?

I have been trying to do this for years

They would also be cute with the extra strip of leather on the side with the tab at the top and make your strip black suede, or whatever color your leather is. I have a pair i bought with a strip of black suede on the outside seams with the tabs at the top is where i got this from, im definitely not crafty or dyiy lol

Cute!!

Could this work with high top trainers ?

I love you girl ❤❤❤ My L.A. bestie 😊 You did such a great job, now I have to give this a try ❤

Ficou lindo

Super cute! And I would have thought way more difficult! Thank you for doing this! *and where is your sweater from?? I love the way it hangs! :)

Nice!

Good idea. If I lived in a temperate climate would have done it to keep my legs warm.

How does the boot cover stay up around the leg?

Genius!

So how did you get them on. Is it attached to the shoes or did you just put them on then the shoes

@cashmonispen4380

You just slide them over your shoes, I also think you can use pants hangers to hang them up to keep them clean, but don't forget to use something soft bet. the clamps and fabric so it doesn't leave an impression. ❤
