Looking for a way to add a touch of Halloween to your wardrobe? Try adding some felt bat wings to a pair of lace up boots. I used these for my Dark Alice Halloween costume last year, but will probably pull them out again this fall to wear on days when I could use a little Halloween spirit.
Me wearing the bat wing boots as part of my Dark Alice Halloween costume
Materials:
*Lace up boots
*Black felt
*Black or silver thread
*Metallic marker or chalk
*Scissors
*Hole punch that can punch through felt (or a sufficiently sharp pair of scissors)
Directions:
*Trace two copies of the template given below onto black felt. Don't trace the veins. Those are there as a visual guide.
*Stitch on veins. You may want to use black thread for a more natural look or silver or purple for more visible veins.
*Mark out where you would like the holes for the laces to be. Make sure they align with your particular boots.
*Punch or cut out holes for the laces.
*Lace the wings into the boots.
