Members Storm Posted April 28, 2008 Members Report 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 Please keep in mind that unless I ask for anyones critique I do not want nor require same.

LOL! This is a fun project and as of this morning I have sold three at $8 a pop. Everybody thinks that they look cute and funny. Makes people laugh.

Members sodapop Posted April 29, 2008 Members Report 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 Darryl..."Imagination is more important than knowledge"...Albert Einstein...
Members Storm Posted April 29, 2008 Author Members Report 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 Please keep in mind that unless I ask for anyones critique I do not want nor require same.
Colman Posted April 29, 2008 Report 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 Endeavor to perceiver.

Contributing Member Jordan Posted April 29, 2008 Contributing Member Report 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. Quote

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 Please keep in mind that unless I ask for anyones critique I do not want nor require same.
