And don't breathe smoke, don't put smoke in your eyes.

-Read labels of materials and tools, and understand how to use.

How to build
Use this sandals as base.


Cut off point taking a hoot.
Cut out 5mm thick EVA foam in order to raise heel.
Glue with a Hot melt(glue gun).


**********************************************************************

EVA foam is a soft material.
You can process it easily.
Another name is EVA board, EVA zote, Craft foam etc.
I usually use one called "Lion board".
"Lion board" is sold only in Japan.

Watch video.

**********************************************************************

Use a sharp blade. For example, "Pro Blade".
This is so sharp.

When you cut, put EVA foam on Cutting mat.
Don't cut in the air, while holding by hand.
Break a b blade frequentry, if you feel sharpness of using blade became bad.
If you want to do work more speedy, use "Running fire box cutter","Blade breaker".
"Running fire box cutter" can have 6 pieces blade inside.
"Blade breaker" can break easy and speedy.


Use Art knife PRO for small ornaments etc.

Cut out 10mm thick EVA foam.
