Two tone boots are just one of the new styles for boots this season. Instead of spending precious cash on expensive brands, you can buy a new pair of cheaper boots, and/or transform an old pair to create this stylish look. 

What you need; a pair of boots (make sure they are clean newspaper this project can get messy), painters tape (if you have a hard time painting strait lines), paint that contrasts with your boots color, and paint brushes.

Divide your boots into sections that you want to paint another color. Tape off those sections on both boots. If you feel that you can paint strait lines then skip the taping parts.

Paint the sections, making sure that your tape stays down.

After letting the paint dry for about two hours, slowly peel off the tape. I only painted one coat, but if you need more coats if you desire a richer color from your paint, always wait two hours before painting another coat. It is a good idea to spray your boots with water repellent spray to protect them.

 Now your boots are finished; rock this trendy look!
