  • Newspaper
    Glue
    Stapler
    Tape

These fun disposable slippers are ideal for the beach, painting in or yard work.

For the soles stack 12 pages together. Draw an outline of both your feet on the top page.

To hold the pages together staple inside the outline of the heal then cut out the shape.

For the straps make a 3 inch wide strip from a half page for each slipper.

Lift up about 6 of the pages of each sole outline. Place the strip inside the front part of the sole and adjust the size. Then staple in place.

Bring down the remaining 6 layers of the sole and glue down, then bind the front edge of the slipper with tape.

We had nothing to do today and I needed a quick craft....my niece and my oldest daughter made these newspaper slippers and LOVED them. They colored the strap part of the slipper to add their own flair.

I love this idea, but I think that when I finished the slippers, I would put Modpodge or some other durable white glue and allow them to dry. They could also be painted to last awhile longer. Just the idea for running around in a motel or hotel room if you have forgotten your slippers. Paint stipes on the bottom to give you traction so you don't slip and fall. Easy project for children too.

a real "are you serious" project

make them really big and they can be used for shoe covers when you come in from outside and your shoes are dirty, but you are going back outside soon and don't want to remove your shoes each time.

Ok.... newspaper slippers, at first glance, they are just that, like something a four year old would make, but really, they are super practical, and a brilliant way of recycling!

This is pretty cool. You could just wear this inside ur house if ur worried about looking poor. Any pair of slippers aren't the most pratical for going to work and stuff.

I think these are cool and you can make them look not poor by using your imagination and/or using coloured paper,not particularly newspaper.So I say this is great!♥

If you're trying to be quiet don't wear slippers fool. They make you look poor? I don't think they're supposed to be a fashion statement.

These were
Perfect when we were painting and I also used them when I was dying my hair. There are a 1000 practical uses.

How cool, I can think of heaps of reasons why to have disposable slippers
