This Week We're Loving....

What we're loving? Those adorable Boutique Boot Socks!  What we're not loving....the price.  So, we thought we'd make some of our own.  What else we're loving? They make the perfect, inexpensive stocking stuffer!


Here's what you'll need:

1 pair of knee socks, or over the knee socks depending on how high your boots are

some lace, some buttons, a needle and thread



First, measure the widest part of your calf.  You'll want to put enough lace in the sock to fit over your calf.  Then, cut off a piece of lace 1/2 in longer than your calf measured.

     We found something a similar width and shimmied the sock over it to get the sock to the width we wanted it.  The lace will not stretch like the sock, so you have to stitch the lace around the sock while it is large, otherwise it will come apart when you put the sock on.


Then, we just stitched the lace around the cuff of the sock.


You can embellish with buttons, or a monogram!

So this looks pretty simple for a girl that can't sew. Maybe I will give this one a shot. Much cheaper than buying lace boot socks!
