I’m hoping for a really rainy spring season in Dallas this year because I can’t wait to wear my new DIY polka dot monogrammed rubber boots! These polka dot boots were already so much fun the way they were but now, with the scripty monogram added to them, they’re my new favorite footwear!
I ordered these cute polka dot rubber boots online {affiliate link} and used white glossy vinyl {affiliate link} and my Cricut machine to create the monogram. I chose to use outdoor vinyl because it will be able to handle the elements better than regular vinyl.
I experimented with a lot of different fonts but ended up choosing one that was very simple with a script appearance. I also experimented with shaping the monogram in a circle but, in the end, I just liked the simplicity of the simple text. I’m not a very curlicue type of person and simple is generally better for me.
I typed the letters then moved them close together and attached and welded them then cut the glossy outdoor vinyl.
I used transfer tape to apply the monograms to the outer side of each boot. I was going to apply it to the front but just liked the way it looked on the side instead … plus, it won’t buckle as much on the side as it would on the front.
The white monogram stands out perfectly against the black base and the colorful polka dots …
… and these boots are just perfect for stomping in puddles! With my luck, we’ll have drought conditions this spring. If so, I’ll be the one in the rubber boots in hundred degree weather {smile}.

What a fun idea to personalize your boots! My girls would love this! Thanks for linking up with Funtastic Friday!
If you find the vinyl starts to come off (I made a bunch for gifts and had to redo them because the vinyl was all coming off – especially the fine scripty ones), rib the spot with some high grit (300+) sandpaper prior to applying the vinyl, clean with rubbing alcohol, then apply!
Great tip – thanks!
