Trick Your Home
Keywords: shoes, boots, slush, cheap, home-improvement, recycling, and Urban-Outfitters (esque).
Materials needed:
- Bubble wrap (free if you've received anything heavy by post recently)
- Gaffer Tape ($26 for a lifetime supply. You may substitute masking tape, but it's not as pretty)
Instructions:
(1) Cut a chunk of bubble wrap out about the size of two or three shoes (follow the dots for straight lines).
(2) Tape off edges to make a nice 'frame'. Do this on both sides.
(3) Place mucky, nasty shoes on top to protect floors and to express your unique style.
Notes:
- Putting the 3D side up will help air to circulate under shoes and dry them faster.
- Look at that hip semi-transparency!
- Beware of those who cannot resist popping the bubbles.
- The lifetime of this products has not yet been calculated. Early reports say 2-3 winter seasons without walking traffic.

Very cool! I like the idea of sort of showing off nasty gym shoes or any shoe for that matter. They are sort of an art form themselves. They hold the evidence of places been and the unique print and smell of the owner.
