Knee pads are a useful thing that can be useful to everyone: motorcyclists, skateboarders, roller skaters, football players and even the most ordinary summer residents. Everything is clear about professional athletes: they always use branded knee pads from the best manufacturers. But what about the amateur boys, who are tight with pocket money, or summer residents who do not need to buy "cool" products for weeding the garden? There is a cheap and easy way out: knee pads made of … plastic bottles!
It is necessary
Plastic bottles; glue "Moment"; soft cloth; awl; big pin or big tailor; wide elastic bands
Instructions
Step 1
The advantages of this method are obvious: there is no need to spend a lot of money on the purchase of "real" knee pads, there is no need to invent extravagant ways of sewing these necessary parts from leather, leatherette and stuff this "skin" with some trash "for softness." And besides, plastic knee pads are almost weightless thing that takes up very little space, so you can take it with you wherever you go.
Step 2
Cut a rectangle out of the bottle to protect your knee joints. You can make it larger or smaller, depending on your personal comfort and, of course, physical parameters. The optimal dimensions are 15 centimeters up and 15 centimeters down, if you count from the kneecap itself. Thanks to such a "pattern", the knee pad will not interfere with the work of muscles and joints, it will not hamper movements and it will not hurt to cut into the skin.
Step 3
Carefully place a soft cloth on the inside of the plastic shields. So that it does not "go" inside and does not constantly fly out, it is better to stick it to the plastic with glue.
Step 4
Holes are made from the sides of each plastic part with an awl or a large pin - two for each shield.
Step 5
Insert elastic bands into the holes that will hold the knee pads on your legs. It is better to insert large elastic bands: then they can be easily adjusted to the size of the leg and tied.
