Boot covers?

Post by ravegrl » Mon Feb 27, 2006 9:56 pm

Because I'll be doing a songstress Rikku soon and I don't have money to buy a pair of orange boots or anything, I need help with finding out which type of material is best used to make boot cover. Any suggestions?

The material you select depends on the look you want. I guess in general, you should try to pick something sturdy since the covers will have to tolerate a lot of scuffing and whatnot. Vinyl, canvas, denim, cordouroy (just use the "wrong" side if you want to hide the lines), some upholstery fabrics...those are usually pretty good. Spandex is ok too if that's the look you need. ^_^
