Boots are fixed

I finally dug everything out to fix my boots. If you recall, I mentioned that I'd bought new boots but I discovered that while wearing them the zipper falls down and I nearly walk out of them. Not to mention they pull my socks down because of it.
Well, I fixed that.
I added a button with a neck to either side of the top of the boot where the zipper comes up and stretched a thick hair elastic around them both. Voila! The zipper doesn't slip any more!

Now, if you're thinking the buttons don't match the boots, well they don't. But I have boot cut pants I wear all the time that will cover it. If you find yourself in a similar situation, you can always go buy matching buttons or salvage them from an old coat or something. These happened to be in my button box and I had 4 that matched each other.
