How to Make Kneepads
Household chores can often mean scrubbing, pulling or spraying while you are on your knees. Your knees can take a real beating from all the abuse, so why not protect them?

The following article will show you how to make your own knee pads and save those aching joints. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
If you have no scrap carpet, go to a carpet store and either ask for some small pieces, or look in their throwaway pile out back
Old bath towels cut into strips make good material for tying the kneepads to your legs.
