Make Your Own Shoes

[Readymom]

Hat Tip to 'Rick1', over at EHP-Discussion site:

Here's instructions on how to make your own shoes. I realize that almost everybody will not have the materials, so you'll have to improvise. Like the materials to form your feet, you'll have to use mad or clay, etc.. Seems a little complicated to me.

This is an instructable for making your own pair of shoes with materials you can buy in an art store or a fabric store. I base my technique off of traditional shoe making methods, but you won't need expensive materials, a nice set up, or complex tools.

The total cost of this project is less than $50 and, will take under 20 hours. ---CONTINUED---
