Well, I decided to take care of business. I kept thinking what could I do about it without spending any money since my shopping ban was still in effect.
Finally, one day it came to me...I said in passing to my true love, do we still have all that bubble wrap for wrapping artwork? Moments later I had huge boxes of the stuff. Even better it was gigantic sheets of bubble wrap that had one side coated with thin foam sheeting. Perfect. That's the back story.
You can see the results in the following pictures:
 |
| I got a tracing off the insole, made a pattern and cut it out of the bubble wrap, taping 2 together for thickness |
 |
| then using fabric scraps, sewed two pieces together to cover each pad |
 |
| slipped them in to cover yucky old soles - notice matching nail polish! |
 |
| Springy fresh looking clogs |
And they all lived happily together ever after.
The end.

Love the fabric, don't they make popping noises when you walk though?! :)
Good question. I wondered about that myself, but that don't actually pop or you'd have to constantly replace them. They seem to just cushion your foot. I guess since you're not putting that much pressure on one specific bubble.
What a brilliant idea!
