Upcycled Sweater Boots

Step 2Fitting your boots

Fitting your boots

Snip off the sleeves where they meet the sweater, flip them inside out, and slide them up your leg, sweater cuff first. Slip on one of your flats, and then stretch the sleeve to form to your leg, while keeping the edges wrapped around the shoe. This will give it a nice boot shape, instead of a big slouchy triangle.

Pin the new stretched shape in place.
