Boot Socks for Less than $5

I love this new trend of boot socks. I think they are super cute and gives an outfit a little extra something. However, I do not want to spend $30-$40 to buy a pair! I saw a pin on Pinterest about making your own boot socks out of an old sweater (I didn't pin it, so I don't know the original source) and thought that was a brilliant idea! So this morning, in less than 10 minutes, I made my own boot socks to wear to church.

I bought a cable knit sweater from Goodwill for about $3. Here's a little tutorial for how I turned it into some super cute boot socks.

Step 1: Cut sleeves off. **This could be your only step if you want! Just wear your socks with the cuff side on the top side of your boots. For me, I wanted to hem the bottom part so they wouldn't fray. However, I don't sew, so this is a no-sew way to do it. I used Heat n Bond, which I had on hand. You can buy this at any craft store.

Step 2: Turn the sleeves inside out and cut your Heat n Bond to the length you need. 

Step 3: Follow the directions on the Heat n Bond. It says to place it on the fabric with the paper side up and press your iron to it for about 2 seconds. 

Step 4: Fold your sleeve over to make a hem and then iron as the directions say (press iron for 8-10 seconds to seal the bond)

 Step 5: Put your sweet new socks on and pretend like you paid a lot of money for them! **This is still the "cuff" part of the sleeve on the outside of my boot because it looks better.
