How to Make Bedroom Slippers Out of Maxi Pads
Whether you want to make a gag gift for a friend or just need an inexpensive pair of slippers, maxi pad slippers are the way to go. It may seem like a strange idea at first, but maxi pads are actually great material for slippers. They are cheap, padded, they deodorize your feet and are absorbent should you feel the need to wipe up a small spill. Since they are all-white, they can easily be decorated. In fact, with enough decoration, you could conceal that the slippers are even made of maxi pads.

1
Lay two maxi pads beside one another on the ground. Put them directly in front of a chair to make the following steps easier.
-
2
Sit down on the chair and put your feet on the maxi pads as you would with real slippers. Position your feet so the tips of your toes are about a quarter-inch away from the end of the maxi pads.

3
Position a new maxi pad so it runs across the width of your foot. Your toes should stick out from the top maxi pad about half an inch. Tuck the ends of the top maxi pad underneath the bottom maxi pad. The two pads should now look like a classic slipper.
-
4
Tear a four inch piece of clear packing tape and tape the two pads together. For aesthetic reasons, try to keep all of the tape on the underside of the slipper. Repeat the same process for the other foot.

5
Decorate the slippers to your liking. Try using ribbons, stickers, buttons or even markers to personalize them.
