Step 1Gather Materials

I spent a week raiding laundry mats trashcans in search of empty bottles gathering about 60 of assorted shapes and sizes. I also found two pairs of crutches (for stilts), and a pair of football shoulder pads.

Wow. I thought their were comments on this ible... I remmber commenting on this a while ago.... Anyway, you mention using crutches? How would I use crutches for stilts? I want to do this, because I have some old worn out brown leather crutches I got from a yard sale. I also Have an old pare of shoes. How would I make them into stilts?
