What to do with a bored 16 year old.

My Niece desperately wanted some fluffy rave boots, but mum’s not buying them quickly enough. During the half term hols, she was showing me these on the internet (perhaps hoping I would buy them or persuade her mum to buy them now ?). Why would I buy her something I could make? Or something she could make herself? As she is doing textiles GCSE I decided she could make them.

As it happened we had all the materials she needed to hand, A fluffy purple rug (bought for 50p at the car boot sale because I thought I could make something with it), Scraps of black jersey fabric (leftover from another project) and some elastic (I buy elastic in bulk so always have it handy). Total cost of project = approx 55p.

She made these over two afternoons, I was honoured, 2 visits in one week without being forced.
