A girlfriend of mine sent this to me the other day. It's a hilarious potential craft for any of us who are really trying to make ends meet this Christmas...
My dear Friends and Family,
This is somewhat embarrassing to admit, but Christmas will be 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 instructions below.

Here's 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, such as silk flowers (this is most aesthetically appealing) or something similar.
These slippers:
* are soft and hygienic
* have non-slip grip strips on the soles
* have a built in deodorant feature to keep feet smelling fresh
* mean no more bending over to mop up spills
* are disposable and biodegradable
* are environmentally safe
* have three convenient sizes: Regular, Light and Get-Out-The-Sandbags
I've attached a photo of the first pair I made so that you can see the nifty slippers for yourself. Merry Christmas!

P.S. Hope you all got as much of a laugh out of this as I did! Kind of puts a new twist on Christmas craftiness, doesn't it?

I did a post on this last week {it was for a white elephant gift exchange with my husband's co-workers.} The "slippers" were one of the biggest hits at the party! Everyone can use a good laugh and I do love your snowman accents! My husband commented that the slippers were actually very comfortable. :)
