     If for some reason you find yourself in need of some quick shoes, here is a solution. I should mention that making these out of plastic, they can be extremely slippery and dangerous on some surfaces. You can also use this idea by using an old tire that is much longer lasting and safer.

Take your bottle and cut the base off. Make the cut about 1 inch above the bottom. Now squash the bottle flat. Mark three points for cord mounting. Position holes as pictured. Cut small holes to feed the cord through. At the neck you will need two small holes to feed the cord through.

Take your cord and tie a knot in one end. Start at one side and feed the cord through the points. Make sure it is secure, as you do not want it to come undone during your travels.

Take your lining and using your feet, a shoe or thong as a template, cut out a rough shape. Cut a slit to accomodate the cord. Apply your duct tape to hold the lining in position.
