A Christmas Boot - Hooray!



After extensive reverse engineering and six prototypes I proudly present The Boot. Now modifications have been made to create a more durable, more pleasing boot. The original boot was made from felt with heavy batting glued around the outside. Something that could be made in an hour or less, a quick craft, then the empty can was dropped inside. I created a liner for the boot to conceal the can. The boot laces and has fake fur around the outside, only messy while you are sewing with it, and true to the original has a cardboard cut out from a cereal box as the base of the boot. The toe is stuffed with batting until firm. So for my Steve, Merry Christmas, it only took 11 years.
