Good evening my beautiful ladies of steemit, how did your day go,I trust you had a fruitful and productive day. And I also welcome us all to a new week of positivity. I want to appreciates @ngoenyi for always creating this contest, I must confess that it has really helped my innate abilities to come to bear, I say thank you ma'am.
I was among the week 23 winners but I wouldn't mind to still go home with some coinsππ
Let's unveil it together....
I love creating/crafting
I'll be creating a home made slippers using cartonπ
Take a look at my leg,what can you see?. Please ignore the nail polish focus on the beauty.
Materials Used
β’ carton
β’ pencil
β’ cardboard
β’ top gum
β’ scissors
Those are the materials Used
Step one
I picked the carton,I step on it by placing my bare foot on the carton, then I used my pencil to draw a line round my foot, just to get the shape of my foot print on the carton since I did not have a sole of a slippers to use, so I improvised. After that I used my scissors to carve out the expected shape. This is πhow it looked like
I did the exact shape into four, because I used two for each foot; I meant that I doubled the carved carton shape to make the sole of the slippers a little bit thick. I did that to make me have that consciousness that I'm actually wearing a normal or real slippers.
Step Two
I picked up my top gum, I started applying it to the two shaped carton to gum them together, I wanted to add beauty to my work, I took my pink colour cardboard cut it into a desired shape and place it on my already shape slippers after that I started preparing the up part of the slippers, by cutting same carton into a rectangular long shape,I removed the soft part and use. You know a carton has two layers. So it was the inner layer I used. Then I placed my foot inside to get my foot shape before I gum the two edges together,in an opposite direction, as shown in those slides.π
Step Three
Booooooomπππ
My home made slippers...
In order to make it eye catching, I cut my pink coloured cardboard and try to do some decorations.
I hope the steps are simple enough ....
