DIY: Gold Leaf Leopard Rainboots
It rains 3 days out of the year here in sunny SoCal, but on the days it does it’s a torrential downpour and I am NEVER prepared! I can never find my umbrella or suitable wet weather footwear. And of course on those rainy days I usually have a laundry list of errands and spend the day running around the city looking like a wet dog. #NotCute I promised myself I’d be prepared for this season. Custom rainboots are a must and Krylon’s gold leaf paint pen makes this project delightfully easy!
NOTE: Click here for the “Hey Girl Hey” doormat DIY tutorial
Materials: Rainboots (these available at Payless for $29.99) and…
Krylon’s 18kt. Gold Leafing Pen (<- This pen is AMAZING!! You MUST add it to your craft stash.)
Use your gold leafing pen to personalize the design on your boots. You can draw polka dots or hearts or a coll tribal print. The design is completely up to you. I chose to create my own leopard print pattern…obviously.
If you a leopard print design is your thing than you can easily create it by drawing “C” and “I” shapes. Go over your shapes with a zig zag stroke to create the furry texture.
Gotta love personalized rainboots!
Style Notes: Jacket from H&M | Dress from Target | Umbrella…ella…ella from Target

I love that you channeled your inner mary poppins in that last photo. You are so cute. My daughter would love these boots. I need to find some for her. She loves “baby jaguar ” anything.

Love these! Super cute and they’re completely unique!
Will the paint from the pen hold up long on the boots? I had actually wanted to paint rain boots a couple years ago but could never decide on the best way to do it or the right paint to use!

Yes! It doesn’t say waterproof on the package so I was worried but after they were dry I tested it out and turned the water hose on them! Also ironically enough it rained in LA yesterday and I wore them out to take out the trash. I walked thru water and mug and the paint is still there!!!

BEYOND ADORABLE!! When I first saw the boots I had NO idea they were DIY they look so great. Although I don’t know that my hand drawn leopard print would turn out as great as yours!
