Sometimes Martha Stewart’s craft tutorials are so good, that the best thing I can do is to simply link to it, like this project to embellish your Uggs.
Half of Amsterdam is wearing Uggs these days (yes, it’s already Fall here in September!!). So, I thought it would be a good time to feature a tutorial: How to Embellish Your Uggs with an olive branch.
Step-by-step
It is essentially very easy:
1. Download and print template.
2. With permanent marker, trace it onto an iron-off stabilizer.
3. Roll up 1″ of foam and wrap with rubber bands; stick foam inside boot.
4. Pin stabilizer to boot and start with felting the branch through stabilizer.
5. Now, felt olives.
6. Pull away leftover stabilizer.
7. Get your iron out and with some muslin over the design, give it some steam. This will relax the fibers.
Fabulous.
