Sandals for warmth

Sandals for warmth
I have found that i can warm up considerably while inside by having my feet on a thick foam pad instead of the floor.  The foam that i have had at the foot of my desk all winter was package padding from a company that sells athletic mats and other exercise equipment.  It is an inch and a half thick!  But when i would get up form my desk i had to leave the pad behind... until i made sandals out of them!

Step 1Tools and materials

Tools and materials
You  will need the following tools and supplies to make a pair of flip-flops for yourself.
  • foam padding
  • seatbelt webbing
  • curved needle
  • thick thread
  • scissors
  • very sharp knife
I used a Lansky sharpener to hone my knife between my cut-outs and found a huge difference when i used a freshly sharpened knife.  

The curved needle works well because the foam won't fold over like fabric. 

I have about 4 extra sections of the foam padding that i am happy to sell along with seat belt webbing that has been salvaged from autos at the dump.  Contact me if you're interested.
