Well, well, well. This is legit my top 5 favorite DIYs of all time and that's strictly because the final result is so epic! I anticipated the pattern for this to be so difficult. In order to make it fit at the calf, then tighter at the ankle then fit around the boot... it seemed so complicated. It took me 1 minute to figure out and better yet, ITS NO-SEW!!!
I will show you how you can sew in a lining, if you want to do that. But keep in mind, faux leather is fabric on the back side, so you dont really need to.
We will clean up that back seam with a decorative detail that not only strengthens the seam but looks profesh.
I am making 3 pairs of boots in this video so feel free to pick and choose what you like!
MATERIALS
1/2 yard of leather of your choice - I chose Faux
Rotary Blade (optional) - amzn.to/45tXqYC
Ruler (optional) - amzn.to/3L20R0z
Cutting Mat (optional) - amzn.to/45BLh46

So happy to see you partnered with Factor. My husband and I have eaten their wonderful meals for two years. They are the yummiest!!! The Sundried tomato chicken with zucchini noodles is my favorite. Back to boots, I can’t believe how easy these are!! Amazballs

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Oh thank you for sharing that! I was legit surprised at how delicious it was so Im thrilled to share them.

[@maryannoberhofer4649]

My tall daughter can never find boots long enough😊😊😊. I have to try this!

[@joanlynn1702]

I so hear ya as a small calf gal 😊

[@janetgardner3153]

@@joanlynn1702 exactly, both ends of the spectrum. AND I’m under 5’ tall…so I have had trouble with length, just like the tall girl in the comments! THIS IS JUST SO HELPFUL!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@janetgardner3153]

Big calf girl here…HALLELUJAH, I can MAKE the boots that manufacturers refuse too! Thank you ❤

[@michaelsnider2484]

FYI, Woman Within sells boots with large calf sizes. 😊 They are not too expensive either.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Im so glad this will be helpful!

[@naturalwitch1359]

Torrid makes wide and extra wide calf boots also for well under $100

[@jenniefowler4968]

Torrid has big calf boots. I have two pairs. Lucked out got them on sale for $20.

[@leslieg1196]

Great idea!

[@DrMaryVision]

Omg. Creative overload. Rhinestones up the back? Yes. Pearls on white leather? Also yes. Steel tacks? Yup. Fringe? A big fat yes. Also, snap tape or Velcro could be used in a creative way as fasteners. What a cool way to give boots more versatility! Bravo!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

helllll yes!!!

[@cindy844]

Great ideas!!

[@denisesanders-dc8bk]

Yesssss!! My thoughts exactly….

[@kathirm9]

😭 I don’t need more ideas! 😂

[@normak63]

I used to make similar for my son who is an actor and used to perform in Shakespeare plays. I will tell you a little secret.. whenever i would see old leather sofas thrown out, I would cut the leather from the back of the sofa.. no matter how old and run down the sofa was, the back of the sofa is always unused. Why throw out perfect leather!

[@monicamcgahan]

This is great for ppl like my daughter who has wide calf’s and most boots don’t fit her calf’s so now I can make her a pr! I’ve done this before yrs ago (literally in 1995) uuuggg shows my age 😂 but I as “leg warmers” I used an old sweater! Growing up in Alaska we didn’t have store’s to get in style fashion & shipping was worse than now! so I had to be creative 😊 I seriously made my own clothes that’s why I love Orly! She’s like a younger me from the past bringing the future 😊💕 But also brings knee ideas as well Love your Orly!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

omg yes, she will be so grateful!

[@wendyschlegel5031]

Wow!!! Those fold-over boots are so cool! They are all so nice. I loved the white pair. Then I saw the olive-colored ones. They are amazing. The black pair look so good on you, too. You blow me away. You are so creative. I don't know how you come up with the patterns for each and every thing you re-create. You are amazing!

[@robsgirl7778]

These would be perfect for traveling. I could take my ankle boots and different sets of these to change up the look.

[@peaceinastorm]

Girrrrlllll. This is the diy I didn't know I needed🎉 You did that!!! I can't wait to make my red fold over boots. I'm thinking about dyeing some white ones than finding matching fabric. I. Can't. Wait.

[@vallerilapoint6219]

I watched this before my morning coffee. Got a creative brain buzz without caffeine. I love boots so much I wear them in the summer heat. Thank you a million times for this genius diy. It makes the process of transforming a pair into tailor made simple and accessible. Bravo Orly!

[@keishabryant4650]

Same I love boots and if they did make cute summer boots then I would definitely wear them.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

aw man this comment is awesome!!

[@tiacoffey3199]

I love this!!!!!!! It will be perfect to make a thigh high version that I can add to any of my photography clients’ own booties that they bring to the shoot!

[@cwiggins7416]

You never disappoint even if I think I couldn’t wear the fashion, I appreciate your technique, your style and your teaching skills! Keep these videos coming Orly! ❤

[@raniapetridou470]

Unbelievable! YOU uploaded this while I was wondering what to do/make with a gorgeous piece of dark green leather I happen to have in my stash! Love from Greece ❤🎉

[@TheDIYDesigner]

oh yessss

[@lhenry3379]

Love these ! I’ve actually had this same idea for years. I’ve been collecting for years now all the fabric & even faux fur stockpiled in my sewing room. But I’ve just have never done.🤷🏼‍♀️. IT IS NOW TIME ❣️Thank you for your inspiration, information & encouragement. Been a huge fan of yours for years. Love U & all your encouraging vibes. Thank you ❣️❣️❣️

[@crystalwaters8852]

Yes girl! ❤❤❤

[@TheDIYDesigner]

its time!!

[@Circey5519]

I've made these for costumes before (Three Musketeers) cheaper than buying boots, but didn't do all the detailing you did. Great job.

[@monicamorten4177]

Really amazing! I love the way you always explain the details so clearly. It’s a treat to watch your videos on a Sunday morning.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

thank you! Im so happy to hear that!

[@millawitt1882]

YEEES!😀 I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE BOOTSCOVER👍😀🤍 and you making this is so cool - imagine ALL your favorite low, ankles and so on shoes you now can make into fabulous boots and how ever you want them👍👍👍

[@petra6900]

😍 Love the look of each boot especially the slouchy white boots ,cute. Good job.

[@inspelled]

Why do I SO want to try this and make a slight DETAIL along the seam> I used to see people do something like this with old socks and have a leg warmer look but this is SO nice. Now you understand why I LOVE boots.

[@TriBeccaDesigns]

Yes yes yes. All of them look sleek and high end. My favs are the olive ones with the split. Adding the strip over the seam took it up a notch. Very nice. I'll be making these with a twist👍🏾

[@Lisa-eo9gd]

I am so happy to have found your channel! You are talented and personable. You really inspire me! I am binge watching your videos. I am already making a list of design ideas to take with me to the thrift stores. Since altering and upcycling is brand new to me, I am going to buy thrift items at the lowest price, no matter what the size. I will use these pieces to practice learning my new skills. If they turn out well, I will then donate them to my local domestic abuse center. Everybody wins!

[@raraavis7782]

Great idea. I wear skirts and dresses almost year round, so boots are a must. But they're soooo expensive and also take up a lot of storage space.

[@anushreep5651]

Orly, you are genius! Absolutely in love with those boot covers ❤

[@WomanUnfiltered]

You sound like me. I'm bad about drinking my one cup of coffee, getting busy, starting to feel a bit queasy & and realizing it's 2 or 3 in the afternoon, and I haven't eaten since last night. Lol Really cute idea. It's not something I could get away with wearing, considering I'm 64 years old, but something I could make for my 25 year old daughter. Lol My mind was putting studs along the seams. Since studs can come in a variety of metal finishes as well as shapes like round, square, and star, there are so many possibilities. I was also thinking on the thinner fabric, as a sewist, that reinforcing piece on the side could be stitched down close on both edges.Thanks for sharing an easy change to ankle boots. ❤

[@TheDIYDesigner]

You could totally get away with wearing anything you want to wear!! there are no rules. Plus is customizable so you can make tweaks to reflect your personal style!

[@WomanUnfiltered]

@TheDIYDesigner TBH, I do pretty much wear whatever I want to. No miniskirts, but that wasn't my thing anytime the style rolled around. My style is more of the Boho Hippie style. I love the long skirts made from jeans, I'll be making a few for winter since coastal Georgia's Summer and Fall are still hot and humid. Lol I've been looking at a pair of pull on linen pants I have that might be a good candidate though. Lol Thanks for all of the neat tips, trucks and modifications. ❤️

[@elementgypsy]

I've been wanting to do this for years. Motivated!

[@tmoni7839]

Uhhh ma’am where have you been with this hack??!!!! Yesssss big calf and wide foot girl hack needed!!!! It is crazy how you have cute boots in your closet that fits you well except in the calf area and you don’t want to get rid of them!!!! Thank you for this hack because shoes are too expensive these days to just throw them in the trash

[@sergiolauramaldonado3098]

Great idea!! Thank you for sharing. For the top edge you can use the double sided tape to sharpen the edge and keep the seam allowance tag down. Blessings!

[@annlatham]

Omg it just keeps getting better! I wish i were half this talented! I am so excited to do this!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

thank you!!

[@patrieceminner6150]

Just in time for fall boots! Another good one!

[@cinemaocd1752]

Oh this is amazing. I have a large remnant from recovering my dining room chairs. A bazillion years ago, I looked at that and thought: would make great over the knee boots....I can make the dream come true, now.

[@marciamartins1992]

Yes all the way, it's brilliant.

[@MLLL1234]

Omg, these are so cute!!! Love the customizable!!

[@unyieldingabyss]

MARVELOUS!!! Now I need to find a great fabric store near me

[@57athina]

You’re brilliant and so creative. Love everything you do 🥰🙌

[@TheDIYDesigner]

thank you!

[@LeopardKayla]

Love this!!!! Def trying this out this weekend!

[@nadiesave]

[@le-netteleveston6835]

This is neat. Now I need to get some ankle boots and save some money.

[@JoanMJones]

I can't wait to try this

[@crystalwaters8852]

Thank you so much! Love these!❤ perfect timing for fall🍁🍂, beautifully styled as always.😁👍

[@heathern9051]

They turned out great. May need to try these

[@carolwhitfield8160]

Love them all

[@jemrawc]

Orly you level of creative genius is astounding! Absolutely spot on brilliant! I’d like to offer a lazy girl hack if anyone is interested. Instead of using a big and bulky traditional iron use the straightener for your hair! It will save a lot of time, fit so much better and make it much easier. Plus you can choose the exact temperature setting needed for your particular fabric to create the crispest seams! However I would recommend using parchment paper on the actual flat iron plates if you are still using it on your hair as any buildup of product could damage or stain the fabric. ❤ from Shannon in Canada 🇨🇦 PS-If you have a wee bit of extra money it might be wise to pick up a very inexpensive straightener to use solely on fabric. Honestly I never use my traditional iron anymore because the $12.99 straightener is far better in pretty much every way.

[@Poisenivy5]

Thank you so much for sharing! This is awesome!

[@Dixiechick21]

As always, great job Orly!

[@mjix1984]

The white ones look like the 80s snuck back in for an encore performance. I had a pair of red ones - with a big buckle - in 1986 that look just like those. Cute DIY!

[@loisgehman949]

Oh! my! GOLLY!!! Girrrll you have done it again!! I’ve got 3 pairs of short boots and a pair of heels that I’ve been racking my brain as to how I’m going to update them… me and my 24” calves thank you!!!!!

[@joywalsh6150]

I love the slouchy ones!!! I need to try this, I've got some thrifted boots coming from ebay, now I need some black faux leather!!

[@leelulady2010]

Plus you could bling/decorate as desired!

[@odalisgonzalez6875]

This looks great

[@BengelaUnWastedResale]

THANK YOU!!!!

[@lulun.romero5343]

Woow perfect for this summer ☀️ 😊 I loves them 👢👢 thank you Orly 😊

[@feelosophy1921]

Immediately thought “leg warmers” from decades past! I’ll have to do a pair to go over my work boots when the weather gets cold.

[@NaeNaeW]

So cool!!!

[@vorahstory8528]

What a great idea

[@clarkclarke]

Absolutely gorgeous ... NI love how excited you are 🥰 Maybe you can make one that is reversible?????? oooooohhhh

[@lillybits9726]

Awesome!❤

[@lauragillespie189]

Brilliant!

[@abolsley1]

Fun & cute!

[@sandrarekker585]

Givenchy, Baby!

[@yeppeonim6686]

This was insane ty❤

[@JETTSTACHI]

Awesome!

[@felliesweetie]

I love this

[@putergirl08]

Great idea girlfriend, but where's the fringe, buckles and laces? You need to add adornments!!! 😂

[@danaslifejourneygathers3879]

Love it they are awesome 👌 ❤

[@analys1422]

I have a challenge for you, the ROW elastic ballet slipper, supper high price range, any chance you could “no sew” dupe this slipper with a pair of affordable pair of ballets , either round or pointy toe ?

[@raraavis7782]

Holy Cow, those are expensive! Who spends 850 bucks on a pair of simple, black ballet flats? They don't look much different, than other ballet flats with a strap, though. Are you asking for a way, to attach an elastic band yourself?

[@wandaharris1371]

OMG game changer, I put a pair of books and the Goodwill bag I'm going in that bag getting my food and I am going to work. Thank you Orly I love you!!!

[@wandaharris1371]

Correction, BOOTS not food.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

hahah figured

[@skilledtouch8445]

Nailed it!!!!!💅🏿🎉

[@chinajordangutierrez1971]

Omggggg I love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thanks bellooooooo 🥰

[@YouTubeMother1952]

You snapped!

[@stephanieminogue992]

I have been trying to do this for years

[@lindatsardakas]

Genius!

[@jennglow4647]

Very cool 😀

[@LVDani]

Even doing the lining a different color and wearing it folded down would be pretty. You might have to do a different fastener though.

[@domesticgoddessmarissa4681]

What a great idea!! 👏😍I love it👏😍You are so talented. You have the best DIY"s. Have a blessed n great weekend.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

thanks you so much!

[@ceciliacase3901]

Cute!!

[@auriswinters311]

These are amazing Orly! I had an idea similar after I bought a "Hippee" costume yrs back that had the entire kit. Instead of boots, it contained boot covers...which I thought was ingenious! I actually wanted to recreate that look but sorta forgot abt it. SO, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for reminding us! As I sometimes have a calf bigger than the boot. My thought...to do it over shoes. Ikr! You're welcome. 😉 Happy Fall! ❤

[@TheDIYDesigner]

oh yes!! do it!

[@tudytrubana8545]

Ficou lindo

[@jennifersilves4195]

Nice!

[@TurkeyCreekGal]

They would also be cute with the extra strip of leather on the side with the tab at the top and make your strip black suede, or whatever color your leather is. I have a pair i bought with a strip of black suede on the outside seams with the tabs at the top is where i got this from, im definitely not crafty or dyiy lol

[@kathirm9]

I bought a duplicate of a suede jacket I already had, planning to make a matching purse. That hasn’t happened 😂 Boot covers made from the matching jacket may be a better idea…

[@bentereekers9808]

I would have loved to see the jeans ones ❤

[@cashmonispen4380]

I love you girl ❤❤❤ My L.A. bestie 😊 You did such a great job, now I have to give this a try ❤

[@angelasmith7139]

❤️👀🙂very affordable for us. Let's go diyer❤️🎉

[@charlotteeshun1393]

Genius ❤

[@lorieromano]

Love you, not feeling the boots but that's cool...many will❤

[@Hyaphill]

Good idea. If I lived in a temperate climate would have done it to keep my legs warm.

[@blazedbabe420]

The brown ones >>

[@susannebudolph554]

Orly, You are amazing. Love from Denmark ❤️

[@petra6900]

It's great idea for someone who has short boots with a thicker calf,like mine..

[@charlesbell7770]

Just love you and What you do! U give me so much inspiration and the motivation to finally give it a go! 😊 Keep up th the good work and God bless you girl! Sincerely/ Charles Bell

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Im so glad! that's my only real goal with this channel :)

[@josypete]

Super cute! And I would have thought way more difficult! Thank you for doing this! *and where is your sweater from?? I love the way it hangs! :)

[@suemerritt1679]

Way cool...🥰

[@SuperClare]

Wow! You out did yourself girl! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 ❤️💪🏼💃🏻💪🏼❤️ 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@deniseoates7147]

I really need to figure out how I am going to save my boots that are peeling but I want something more permanent fix. I don't think that glue really going to hold up under the stress of wear do you? And if not what your strategy? Thanks for sharing and blessings to you and all in the days to come.

[@gabbyraja]

Leather legwarmers!

[@GINGER70HINTZ]

Beautiful and easy diy! The blazer of the 3rd outfit is so cool. Could you please share the brand of it?

[@TheDIYDesigner]

I used to have a clothing line and this one of the jackets! It's about 10 years old...

[@Silrielmavi]

This is so good for girls like me who can find ankle boots that fit them, but it's rare to find calf-high boots that fit properly

[@1013ladee]

ORLY STRIKES AGAIN.🎉🎉🎉🎉YOUR THE FREAKINNNNNNN BEST. US BIG CALF GIRLS LOVE YOU❤❤❤❤

[@TheDIYDesigner]

yesss! So glad!

[@ClaudineTrottier]

❤❤❤WoW WoW WoW, very good idea😮🎉😊

[@ChristyWallin]

Like making "spats!"

[@TheDIYDesigner]

yesss!

[@TurkeyCreekGal]

What size/kind of needle did you use and what thread did you use to sew the leather?
