Mrs Frugal Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I bought a pair of Ugg boots last year and was absolutely gutted to discover that they'd gone threadbare on the toe. They were really expensive and otherwise in good condition, showing no other signs of wear and tear apart from a hole on one of them so rather than consign them to the back of the wardrobe or even worse, the bin, I decided to "pimp" them . For £3 worth of coloured felt, I now have some decidedly individual Ugg boots to get me through this winter. What do you think?? Time for the men in white coats to get me?? I was happy to walk around all summer with jibbits on my Crocs so maybe this is the Ugg alternative . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 They're great, and you can't see the Jiffy Bags I cut up jiffy bags and reinforced the toe area inside with them and they are even snugger now. No danger of my toes going through the flowers . I'm so relieved you all like the boots . I shall go to town this afternoon in them and hopefully won't be too embarrassed .

Egluntyne Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 You might attract a crowd. Make sure you are wearing your Omlet T shirt and are carrying BHWT bag just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 Most definitely. It'll make a good impression as I'm carted off by the men in white coats, won't it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 The felt's glued on with contact adhesive and that was fun, I can tell you!! It was oozing out of the tube like it was in a hurry . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
