Whether you are a professional removalists or just a crazy hobby-ist or hoarder, you will find amazing uses for shoe-laces, the topic of this article. Although there are literally hundreds if not thousands of uses for shoelaces, here are some particularly interesting ones. Shoelaces are amazingly strong for their size and extremely light weight, and that is what actually makes them practical for a variety of uses. Because they are made of so many colours and types, there are very few things that they cannot be used for. Get creative.
- Hammock. If you are looking for a very strong and very lightweight hammock, then choosing shoe strings as your choice of material. Soft, comfortable and extremely strong and long lasting, they are the perfect choice. Make your hammock the right size for you, or even consider making one for you and your partner. Now that could be fun!
- Webbing. Believe it or not I have seen interstate removalists that use shoe-laces tied into webbing to secure items on the top of a vehicle. The same reason as the hammock. Shoe-laces are extremely strong and long lasting because they are many woven fibres and have very long lasting properties. Soft they cause little damage to items during storage.
- Leash. Whether you have a raging pit bull or just a funky hamster that you wish to take for a walk, using shoe-laces as material for a fun looking and extremely strong leash can work. Choose shoelaces with a wide range of colours to make the most fun, interesting and spunky control device for your favourite animal or pet.
- Choker. Don’t limit your creative clothing ideas to your pet, get your own goofy or grungy look with a tough or fairy looking necklace. Strong and thick black leather laces are great for those looking for the dominatrix look, or go with multiple colours if you want that super-funk 80 disco edge. Tie them on tight if you want something that is permanent, or for many years at least.
- Phone Charm. Tired of losing your mobile phone or just want to give it a shaggy hair-do? Laces make a great way to tie to your jean buckle loops or use a number of laces to give your iPhone a shaggy pile. Cut multiple shoe-laces into short lengths for that full fluffy headed look.
Laces have so many uses, and these are only 5. Surprisingly enough, the practical uses are more realistic than you may believe because of the nature of shoe-laces. All good strong ropes are actually made in a similar way, the advantage of shoelaces is are they soft and many have been treated to resist water. For fun, well they come in a multitude of colours and they can add a lot of colour and fun to your life. The humble shoelace, so cheap and effective, who knew they would become so useful. If your laces start disappearing, look around, you might have a hobby-ist near you.
