Best of DIYs | Make a Wallet from a Cowboy Boot!


Back in 2011 we featured a really cool tutorial from the talented Alicia Jepsen of Jepsen LeatherGoods LLC.  In the past she has offered up instructions on how to make a leather passport holder (which we loved), and then followed it with one of my favourite DIYs on the blog, making a wallet out of a cowboy boot!  Yup, that's right, a cowboy boot! So fun, yes? Check it out!
