Introduction: (Bottle) Boot Shapers
This instructable allows a sad discarded water bottle to find happiness with a lonely old boot.
While boot shapers are made specifically to help maintain the support required for stored boots, they can get expensive - - especially if your collection is as large as mine!
Step 1: Gather Up All Unloved Cowboy Boots
Rather than allowing your boots to lose their shape and make a mess of precious storage space, it is a good idea to put something inside the boot shaft.
Step 2: Introduce Them to Recycled Water Bottles and Watch What Happens!
By inserting a clean plastic bottle inside the boot shaft, your boots will maintain their shape and appear organized.
WARNING: Under this special relationship, boots and bottles have been known to gain back their self respect, reproduce and finish out their final days as tacky western decor!

If you don't, I will... Why do you have so many boots? Oh wait, author's a female from Colorado... Nevermind.

To answer everyone's inquiries - these are not a woman's personal footwear collection (that would be me tho!). This is part of the room decor of a western theme room - all hand-done and it's fabulous! From friend of kcli

So much better than finding "stuff" to stuff the boots! Most clever as always.
