All I did was spray paint the books in colors that I liked with Rust-Oleum spray paint. Let it dry overnight. If feels a little sticky, rub a little baby powder on them and wipe it off.

I took the easy way out and added fake flowers from the Dollar tree. They also sell these blocks of foam. Just stick the flowers in the foam and put it inside the book.

You can add dirt and real flowers if you choose. If you’re going to add real plants I would add some small rocks in the bottom of the boot first. I don’t have a green thumb and would end up killing them.

This would make a great table topper on a patio or even a decorative prop in your garden.

I use black sharpie and added an address on this boot.  How cute would this be at your front door? 

What a great gift idea for a house-warming present! to one larger cup, starting with white. DO NOT mix the last cup.
