DIY: Leather Over-The-Knee Boot Spats
. . . and with the ties
{leather not as shiny in reality}
See this post for inspiration
Other possible closure options if you don't have a sewing machine {or even if you do}
* Velcro {stick on or hand stitch on}
* Elastic -this will work also if you don't have enough leather. {Use a solid piece in the back for a more fitted look or thin horizontal strips all the way down the back}
* Eyelets/Lace-up
* Hooks/Lace-up
* Buckles
Wearing options
* Fold over the top and show the suede side.
* More ties or one long leather strip -criss-crossed all the way {like the Chloe's or Rodarte's} I actually would have preferred this but I only had enough leather left to make two for each side.
* With flats
* Over jeans/leggings
Do you like the over-the-knee boot look? Would you make these yourself?

Wow! This is great! Thanks for sharing :)
LOve it ! I love this kind of post, because it's very helpfull and creative.
Very good idea ! i'll try with false fur or velvet :)
This is pretty creative but it looks too scrunchy for my taste.
I think the first picture makes it look soooooo bad, kind of a hooker-ish. But it's just me.
Great post overall.those are sweet! great post :)
Amazing...
I like them and I think it's a cute idea on other people.
I think that's a creative idea, but I haven't seen anyone pull off the over the knee look, it just does not flatter the legs one bit.
wow you're good at craftsmanship.
looks creative!
but my only problem is reading the text on the pictures!! it's a bit difficult so I ended up not reading them :(
Those are great! I just wish my legs were a bit thinner so I could wear them
Looks great.
Too wrinkly for me, but cool.
Too slouchy, imo.
I wish I could wear knee length boots because I love the look, but I'm too short and it looks weird on me.
eww
@RoastedMarshmallow@xanga - Yeh, I thought that too.
looks really nice but i dont think i can manage that myself lol how about i pay u to make mine like that :D
i like it, but i dont think i'll do it
looks cool!
but i can't read the instructions clearly
but it's probably due to my vision >.<
I like the look, but the entire time I was viewing this I thought "too lazy. too lazy. too lazy."
nahh, i'd pass. but looks real nice
!! amazing post!!!!
dun think my sewing skill is up for the project but o my i love looking at diy products
