These are so cute! I can just see them with a nice ruffled apron  She is using plain ol' Wal-Mart rain boots, but they should work just fine with any rubber farm boots. You can change the ribbons to suit your mood too!

And I just discovered Craftgawker and Foodgawker! Lots of crafts and ideas, recipes and fun!

These are great!
I might just have to buy myself a pair to do this to.

OMG! These are great! I have the same problem as the crafter, larger than average calves and have had a hard time with boots since I was a teen. These are exactly what I need! And they are beyond cute!
Thank you so much for sharing!

Yeah, me too Amy, these are really so cute and my calves are just big enough for barn boots to be a bit tight, but I'm thinking during muddy mucky times and especially around certain practical joker goats on the farm, I'll just be lacing mine up with baling twine  Still I do like the idea of gussied up ordinary things [:)}

Me too Annika! Didn't mean to be a spoil sport. They are so cute I would risk the chickens and the goats pickin' at them just to wear them!!! :)

I am a big chicken where grommets are concerned. Do you have a special tool for setting them?

I went to Walmart and they do not have those boots or any like that here. I know I can get them online. Maybe they will get them in yet.

They are also cheap at the feed store, and both my pairs are made in USA!

Too hot and dry to wear rubber boots in Texas today! Just fed the horses in my 'round the house sandals. Wah!

What a cute idea for Wellie.... I have seen crafting ideas using the large snap together grommets over on the Indygo Junction blog site.
I have also seen where gals have (using a gluegun) attached ruffled lace around the top & topped with buttons & vintage earrings.
Luv crafty women!
