Sandals
How many times have you ended up with a broken heel or a loose sandal strap? In such circumstances, you either have to walk home barefoot or borrow sandals from someone. However, if you are equipped with a duct tape and a cardboard, you can make your own makeshift duct tape flip flops or sandals. Trace the size of your foot on the cardboard and cut it. Repeat for the second foot. Cover the cardboard cut outs with a duct tape in your favorite color or with whatever is at your disposal in an emergency. Take two 9'' strips of duct tape with their adhesive sides touching each other. Support the strips with several other equal length strips. This forms the strap for your sandals. Fold the strap and lay it over the cardboard sole. Stick it with more duct tape. Your cute makeshift duct tape sandals are ready!
