Rain Boots Refreshed
Crafts
Goodwill Rain Boots can now be checked off the list!
I keep this extensive list of treasures that I’m always on the lookout for.
And these have been checked off the list:
I shopped the house for the white tulips, originally bought at Hobby Lobby, I know they were bought at 50%. Not that my memory is good, but because I never pay full price ;)
I ripped the green grassy stuff from an old wreath, as I rarely throw anything away.
Before you add any artificial flowers to an arrangement, you need to bend and fluff them to look more natural. True, we all know they’re fake but giving them a realist look just makes all the difference!
Stick them in the boots and continue shaping until you like the way they look.
Stick the grass in the other boot and you’re almost ready to add a burlap ribbon. Step back and make any adjustments!
Are you going to add rain boots to your thrifting list?
Happy Spring!
What’s on your thrifting list??

Adorable Debbie. Hmmm... I have the Mr. childhood wellies, they would be adorable in an arrangement. attacks for the inspiration.
Oh, clever one, that is too cute!
So cute! Love this idea.
This is just so cute!! I got a peek at them yesterday while I was in your neighborhood.
Love this! The boots are perfect :)
Great idea! My daughter's outgrown hers; maybe I'll just skip the Goodwill step and repurpose them.
Too cute! I love the boots!!!
Not only do I like the boots on the door, but I have a duck herding daughter who would love a pair in her size.
I pinned.... this is soooo adorable!!

I love to use the rain boots for my spring decor. Great reminder to get out the yellow ones that I fill with silk lilacs and pussy willows!

You are so talented and explain it all so well. You are so good at making those tulips look real! I am sharing this tonight…love ya!
I am off to pin this it is adorable. I am going to wait till the snow melts hopefully April and then this would be so cute on my door. Just love it!
I am DEFINITELY adding rain boots to my thrifting list. I never look at the girly kids' clothes when I'm yard saling or thrifting. But I will now. I'd love to have a pair of those in my size!
And if you hadn't told me they were fake, I would have never guess those weren't real tulips.
Love, love, love your spring "wreath." Thanks for sharing.
OH!! That has got to be the cutest idea and I would have never guessed the tulips were fake. So cute. I am pinning this.
Came across this at Confessions of a Plate Addict. This is the cutest door décor ever!! Pinned and I'm officially on the hunt for a cute pair of rain boots. :) XO
Thanks Christy, I hope you find your rain boots!
HI! Love this idea :) Just did a similar project using some boots and flowers that I picked up from Goodwill! Total cost for the whole project -- $3!!!! I"ll be posting about it next week.
Love this! It is the perfect alternative to a spring wreath. I am putting together a round up of fresh spring decorating ideas on my blog Lovely Etc. this Wednesday and would love to include your rainboot wreath (with a link back of course).
Oh My! What an adorable hanging piece for the door and with boots.. so creative. I love your blog...
