Duct Tape

We use duct tape for a lot of stuff around here.    The normal stuff, like....ducts....and not so normal stuff, like a boot for a cast.    We love duct tape!

We all do.   Even the kids.

What surprised me about these wasn't the fact that she used duct tape to fix them, but rather that it was the plain old silver kind, instead of a more stylin' color.  Like pink.

Project: A boot for a cast

Guaranteed to keep her cast and foot dry

Before

Yep, K1 broke her ankle sledding last weekend.   She's sporting a lovely blue cast.  It being winter and all, and there being the very real necessity of keeping this thing dry and warm, we put our heads to making a removable boot for her cast. That cute little toe sock thing with the elastic around the back came from the doc's office when she got the cast on.  Leave it on when you're making the boot.

Materials:

•  heavy plastic trash bag
• scotch tape
• duct tape (1 roll, 20 yds, was enough)
• sharp scissors (The sharp part matters.)
• velcro with the sticky-tape on the back.
• embellishments
