I think the straps must go across the top of the slipper, and at 18" long they must be intended to tie on top of the foot. The binding would be to encase the raw edges around the edge of the slipper. But with the cardboard inside they won't be washable. Several layers of fabric or quilt batting could be substituted and you could toss them in laundry. Jan -

This just does not make sense. Tell me what the "straps" do and what the binding does. There is a sole and then the is the strap and the binding. No top to the things?
