I don't know if any of you use Photobucket for blogs or forums, but without notice, they decided to just turn off all embeded images. So, my 10 years worth of blog posts now have a bunch of broken signature blocks. Argh. So frustrating. Anyways fellow bloggers, I feel your pain!
This year the Easter Bunny brought my oldest daughter her own pair of Converse high tops. The Easter Bunny got a really good deal on them. However, I, ahem..the Easter Bunny...didn't realize high tops are extremely difficult for kids to get on and off. The laces didn't have any give. Every time she had to take them on and off you practically had to unlace them. My daughter has many pairs of lace shoes that she wears with no problems, but these shoes weren't cooperating.
After a couple of soccer practices trying to get them on, I knew we needed a different solution. I thought about buying those lace free alternatives they now make. The reviews weren't great, and they could be expensive especially if they broke frequently. I was going to rig something up with plain white elastic when I saw a pile of my daughter's elastic ribbon hair ties. Why go with plain white when you can make something unique?
Each set of holes used one hair tie. I didn't have enough to do all matching elastic ribbon, but I did have enough to match the two pairs of shoes. Using a needle and thread, I would thread the ribbon through the hole and sew the front and back of the elastic with white thread. I tried to match the stitching that was already on the Converse. The first side was easier than the second simply because there was a bit of tension as you pulled the elastic ribbon across and threaded it. I left the top two sets of holes empty so it would be easier to pull them on. I am happy to report after a {very} active summer, they are still holding up quite well.
Thanks for sharing your info. I truly appreciate your efforts
ReplyDeleteI will be waiting for your next write ups thank you once again.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the post. I will certainly return.
ReplyDeleteI’d like to recommend the Morphohack Cyber Security team if you ever intend to recover your Bitcoin, USDT, or other crypto assets.
ReplyDeleteI happen to be one of many people who lost their crypto assets after a distasteful experience with a fake crypto investment scam. They kept requesting more deposits in order to “grant” me access to my wallet. If not for the intervention of the Morphohack Cyber Security team, I would have lost everything completely.
Morphohack intervened on my behalf and began what seemed to be a full recovery process and a cyber attack on these con men.
I’m putting this out here to share my plight and encourage others to act quickly and contact Morphohack if you happen to be in a similar situation. Do not believe that by paying more, you’ll be granted access to your wallet by these investment scammers. Instead, contact the Morphohack Cyber team to help you recover your crypto assets immediately.
Their contact email is as follows: MORPHOHACK@CYBERSERVICES . COM

I love the practical creativity behind this DIY project. Finding a simple way to make everyday items more convenient is a great reminder that small details can make a big difference in how we enjoy our surroundings. The same idea applies when choosing a comfortable place to live, where location and lifestyle matter just as much as the property itself. For anyone exploring Northern properties, it can be interesting to consider how the surrounding environment fits everyday family life.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for making high-top shoes much easier for kids to put on and take off! I also like the idea of reusing colorful elastic instead of buying another accessory. It reminds me of how small practical upgrades can make a big difference around the home too, especially when it comes to improving comfort and energy efficiency. For example, choosing the right window solutions can help make a property more comfortable, while energy-efficient glazing can be useful for reducing heat loss and improving insulation. Thanks for sharing such a creative DIY tip!
