Tin Can Stilts

Looking for that pay raise? Grow 6 inches and take the extra money you earn to buy new pants! E-Z stilts with 2 cans, tape, and a pair of shoes

Step 1 Materials: 2 cans, sturdy tape, shoes

This one's low on supplies but high on the goofy meter. A few observations though:
1. the stilts feel all around more comfortable and safer with shoes (rather than barefoot attachment to the stilts).
2. a strap system could be used instead of tape. an instructable of this system might be posted laiter, but a liberal application of tape takes 5 minutes and seems strudy enough.

when you walk on stilts, you walk on the balls of your feet (like you're supposed to anyway). put the ball of your foot(inside the shoe) on the center of the can and you should be good to go. if that dosent work for you, just stand on the cans in a comfortable position and tape from there.

jjordan--should the shoe be taped in the middle, or have the heel hang over as pictured. Placement of shoe could be a factor in balance.
