Storm Report post Posted April 28, 2008 This was fun and a way to use the extra leather around the place. Sold one inadvertantly on the first day. I have a lot of fun coming up with how to make them. Maybe some miniature Huarachi Tire Sole Sandle using an old bike tire. HA! Thanks for the idea and inspiration Jordan Storm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sodapop Report post Posted April 29, 2008 i'd like to see one with the bike tire for a sole...novel idea!!...also how did you attach the straps/lace inbetween the pieces?? thanks darryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Storm Report post Posted April 29, 2008 Currently I take the strap piece, which is one. I put either end in the two hol s and bring them out and put them through the larger hole in the front. On the underside I snip off the excess and then glue them down contact cement. i'd like to see one with the bike tire for a sole...novel idea!!...also how did you attach the straps/lace inbetween the pieces??thanks darryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colman Report post Posted April 29, 2008 Nice flip flop. Another idea for tire tread sole could be bicycle inner tube or you could put a layer of black rtv silicone on the bottom and form tire treads in it while it is drying. Could also cut in the tread design when it hardens. jc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jordan Report post Posted April 29, 2008 Your welcome, glad to see your making money from scrap and it would appear that the creative juices are flowing. LOL have fun. I have made about 6 so far and I am sure they will sell when I get my booth setup. I would post some pics but I lost them all in an upgrade, should have done a clean install, oh well live and learn.

Morning Jordan, I have made around a half dozen and sold four at $8 a piece already. Everybody loves them and they say that they make them laugh. LOL! I think you will have no problem selling yours. Besides you have more variations. Thanx again, Storm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
