I just found a really old pair of shoes in my closet. With a bit of thinking, I thought to turn them into some nifty looking gauntlet looking things. :3 They remind me of waste lander attire in Fallout.

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Safety Pins
  • Shoe Laces
  • Needle

Steps (10 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 1

    First, find a pair of shoes you would be willing to destroy without regret. I'm sure this project would work for quite a few different types of shoes.... O_o

  2. 2

    You will want to remove the laces if any before cutting the shoe so you can be able to hold the piece steady while your sawing through parts of the shoe...
    take your razor ( and Be EXTREMELY CAREFUL when handling a razor!!! O_O) and start slicing the sides and tongue part off the shoes...

  3. 3

    When thats finished, have the two side pieces laying down facing each other like this...

  4. 4

    Take one of your shoe laces and start lacing them from the bottom up...

  5. 5

    ...

  6. 6

    When you reach the top, tie your bow then flip it over and place the tongue of the shoe like so (as seen in the image)

  7. 7

    Get out that needle and thread and start sewing the shoes tongue on... (why do they call it a tongue anyways? O_o)

  8. 8

    It should look like this when finished

  9. 9

    Wrap it around your arm and fasten it with a safety pin like this...
    (sorry this looks sloppy)

  10. 10

    Here ya go! this is what it looks like when done. :D
    This is the first project I put up here so please share your thoughts with me if you have any...
