Comments on: Sweater Boots. Here’s how you make ‘em! http://www.rachaelray.com/blogs/index.php/2009/03/27/sweater-boots-heres-how-you-make-em/ Blogs from Rachael Ray and her friends Mon, 21 May 2012 07:58:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Evette http://www.rachaelray.com/blogs/index.php/2009/03/27/sweater-boots-heres-how-you-make-em/#comment-19610 Evette Mon, 06 Apr 2009 16:06:58 +0000 http://blog.rachaelray.com/?p=2919#comment-19610 Hi Samantha A, I think I know what you mean. Are you asking how you make sure that the fabric doesn't slip around on the shoe? Well the first thing is I used a sweater of mine that fit nice and tight around my leg. You can try this out by putting your leg right in the sleeves of your sweater. You'll look ridiculous doing it but hey, you've got to double check somehow. Then once I found the junk sweater that seemed to work the best, I made sure that the seam of the sleeve ran from the back of the shoe up the back of my calf. You can also feel free to add some hot glue to the actual surface of the shoe too so that the sweater is double-y attached to there is no slippin' and slidin'. I hope that answers your question!

Teachers love to recycle things...my old sweater (or one from Goodwill or Waterfront Mission) and a pair of scuffed up shoes. Thanks for the idea. I am eager to share this with my friends at the Extension Office. Oh yes, I think I have a pair of those sweater leggings...the things we keep tucked away! This is an excellent way to go green.

I have a pair of clogs and the perfect sweater. But how do you make it so the material "hugs" the shoe and there isn't one big line from the toe of the shoe to the calf. Do you know what I mean?

This is good if you happen to have large or small legs too, cause usually your sweater would be the right size to fit your legs. Very Good and well thought out. Thanks for your crafty ideas. At first I was thinking about the glue coming apart but as we all know these glue guns will hold anything! Really cool and seems easy enough!

They would be perfect for this. These look great and they probably provide better support for the foot as well. You are so clever!
