14 Felt Button Slippers

14. Felt Button Slippers: We have been talking about making slippers from this thick felt for a little while since it’s thick enough to be used as a sole. Page and I were discussing slipper shapes and ways to put them together when it struck us that we could make each slipper out of a single piece of felt with almost no sewing required. We decided to add on a bright felt button for a fun bit of color and voila, these slippers were born! I am a huge fan projects like this, a clear simple idea that comes together in a flash so I’m really excited to share these. –Molly (via Purl Soho)

15 5 Minute Instant Hand Warmer

15. 5 Minute Instant Hand Warmer: Everybody has seen them, the instant hand warmers sold during the winter months for insane prices. However In this instructable I’m going to show you an easy way to make an instant hand warmer with things that you probably have laying around your house! Its a little odd for me to be posting this in the middle of summer, but in hopes of another stay warm contest I would like to see your feed back to help improve this instructable. EDIT: BE SAFE please avoid direct skin contact with the solution! I am by no means a chemist, I do not know how safe this reaction actually is. I’ve heard several people say several different things. Some people claim this produces hydrochloric acid, but I never got burned from touching it. Whatever is actually happening doesn’t matter, please be safe and do not touch the solution or inhale the fumes! Thank … (via junits15)
