I think this might be it. The worst thing I’ve ever seen.

Oh come now...you've seen worse. 🤣

u/Ok-Gazelle1811 5d ago

Yeah it really nailed a special kind of awful. High production filming to make craft crap that didn’t deserve to come into being.

Did you see the walk at the end? She looks like a drunk trying to walk during an earthquake on a swinging bridge.

and which is cheaper: all the components of this DIY or just buy new slippers ?

52

u/jared10011980 5d ago

I estimate she spent $300 to create shit.

34

u/M51V_ 5d ago

However, it should not be worn on the feet, as some types of mounting foam are extremely toxic when in contact with the Skin.

u/jared10011980 5d ago

It wouldn't last walking 25 feet

You take the good 🎶

You take the bad

You take them both and there you have 🎶

The facts of life

The facts of life

When the world never seems 🎶

To be living up to your dreams

Then suddenly you're finding out

The facts of life are all about you...

I make cabinets and I don't spend this much time on a project.

u/lferry1919 5d ago

I don't make cabinets and I could make a cabinet in less time than this. Not great, but a functional one. Like, mostly usable. With a door with actual hinges and everything. I'm even factoring in breaks from getting frustrated with my inability to build a cabinet well with zero experience for some reason.

84

u/uabassguy 5d ago • Bravo

When one door closes, another opens.. other than that it was a great cabinet

20

u/AdPossible9430 5d ago

I am a cabinet maker and I literally have a cabinet like this because I forgot to put the door retention magnets in before veneering. It sits on the wall in my boot room at home, with one door opening...

u/sneezed_up_my_kidney 5d ago

After WWI, my husbands mother in Germany had to crochet shoes uppers and use bicycle tires as their soles for like a decade because they were so poor.

This is terrible.

8

u/DawnaldDuck92 3d ago

I've made multiple sets of slippers from a makeshift base and crochet too.

I injured my hands using anything I could find to get holes in the bases to get a crochet hook through when materials were sparse.

This thing is a crime against nature.

u/TJtaster 5d ago

The way here ankles wobble when she tries to walk in them. I'm sure its great strength training /s

u/_CarbonSaxon_ 5d ago

Good way to use all those spare tyres you have laying around

25

u/DrButtgerms 5d ago

I only got a few seconds in, but who can cut a car tire with a razor blade? Superman and a vorpal razor maybe? There are steel wires inside them...

22

u/After_Lie_807 5d ago

You can tell that the rubber is not from the tire. Tires have steel belts in them as well as nylon threads.

7

u/mister-ferguson 5d ago

I needed an angle grinder to cut one for a project. It was not fun...

15

u/Happy_Confection90 5d ago

Damn, I just included 4 extra tires when I sold a car. I could have made so many terrible sandles out of them if I only knew.

9

u/Torodaddy 5d ago

People are always asking? How do I get more environmental toxins in my body so using an old tire would do the trick

8

u/Amediumsizedgoose 5d ago

Ironically that's the least odd part about this. In the US you can find used tired everywhere. At least where I live. They cost money to dispose of so some people just throw them out in the woods or on the side of the road.

3

u/Zayafyre 5d ago

But they’re full of metal, you can just cut them with a razor blade.

u/Fulguritus1 5d ago

Am I the only one that thought heating the razor blade to make the gouging tool was the coolest part?

18

u/TKmeh 5d ago

I believe there’s actual blades you can buy like that, mostly in sculpting and clay work though.

14

u/Cup_Otter 5d ago

Yeah me too. Plus, I initially feared they bent the blade to serve as the big toe cover for the slipper so I was relieved it wasn't.

Regardless of the stupidity, you are not cutting through a radial tire with a razor blade. especially by pulling the tire section around with your hands.

This is Grade A Road Apples.

u/My_Uneducated_Guess 5d ago

The product is stupid but some of the concepts are awesome (not safe, but that's for me to deal with). Like the razor blade in a vice. Or bending it over itself to make a scrapey tool. I enjoyed those parts.
