PLEASE NOTE: If you feature this tutorial anywhere else, I request that credit is given to me, be it just a mention of my name or a link back here, and that you might have the courtesy to tell me where it is- I like to see where my stuff ends up =)

I keep getting bugged about how I made the shoes for my Shiki Misaki costume. I figured that, since I was doing an article about cosplay and shoes over on Girls Entertainment Network ( [link] ), I would make a tutorial to help anyone aspiring to make their own boot cover.

Now, this particular tutorial was designed after trial and error. Nothing I do is completely professional, and most of it is done for fun (and it seems I like to test the limits of my patience and sanity on a regular basis).

If you have any questions or comments, you're more than welcome to e-mail me at mihoyonagi@yahoo.com. Or, if you prefer, message me here on DA and I can respond back within a day or two, so long as I'm not too swamped with work.

SPACIAL NOTE: the boots that I used in this tutorial did NOT HAVE ZIPPERS and were merely meant to slip on. For more advanced technique that includes leaving zippers open, keep watch over my DA gallery- I'll have a tutorial for those types of zipper boots here in the next few months =)

If you're still having trouble, I do take commissions if you're interested. PM for details

omg I love you hun! lol I was about to ask you in the email after I replied back lol I was going to ask you how in the world do you do boot covers lol :D YAY!
:iconmihoyonagi:
=D You know, it's way easier than it looks, too. I never used a pattern to figure anything out- I just cut, sewed, and figured out how to do it on my own, lol.

How would you make the boot covers temporary? I was thinking elastic or something. Any tips?

I LOVE VEGGIES!!!! :D

Honestly, I think you're better off making them permanent, otherwise the cover might slip off or come undone while you're wearing it. It would be quite a bit harder to manage. Sorry.
