To My Dear JTI Friends,

Somewhat embarrassing to admit, but Christmas is tight this year. I will be making bedroom slippers for you all as gifts. Please let me know your sizes. You'll most likely agree that it's a splendid idea, and should you wish to do the same, I've included the instructions below.

How to make bedroom slippers out of maxi pads:

You need four maxi pads to make a pair.
Two of them get laid out flat, for the foot part.
The other two wrap around the toe area to form the top.
Tape or glue each side of the top pieces to the bottom of the foot part.
Decorate the tops with whatever you desire, silk flowers (this is most aesthetically appealing), etc.


These slippers are:
Soft and Hygienic
Non-slip grip strips on the soles
Built in deodorant feature keeps feet smelling fresh
No more bending over to mop up spills
Disposable and biodegradable
Environmentally safe
Three convenient sizes: (1.) Regular, (2.) Light and (3.) Get out the Sand Bags.
.
I've attached a photo of the first pair I made so that you can see the nifty slippers for yourself....
.
Awaiting your response. It's crucial that I get the right size for each one of you.

I have tiny feet. So get out the sandbags. I need to go to wal-mart this morning; it would be appropriate footwear. Can you have them ready asap? :)

I'll take a size 8, please.

That's funny! I wonder how long they would last?

Size 7 here..

This is hilarious. I'm emailing it to friends.

Why Not? said...

Do sizes work in numbers or more like light days and overnights?

I used to have these, but one week out of the month, I couldn't get into them.

How much do you want to bet that there will be a number of people wearing slippers to Walmart? Although not as cute as these. Its raining here today, I wonder will they keep my feet dry?

Btw, the removable adhesive strip came off the bottom in the coffee aisle and I was glued to the floor for about 10 minutes... gee, thanks for that awesome gift, SER!

Mary, make sure you request that he uses Alway's brand with the "stay dry liner."

Mary...I think you should avoid putting them on...I mean wearing them in damp areas.

KK...I might have used the “New & Improved” models on yours, with the anti-slip glue.
