Insoles As Habitats Kit
Insoles as habitats Kit
This kit will allow you to create an habitat within your shoes. The idea is to take advantage of the almost non existent space within shoes to grow an organism not very popular in architecture: Black Mold, also known as Stachybotrys Chartarum (atra).
Here are the materials: Funnel (optional), soil, silicone, utility knife, plastic bag (any kind).

Add the Soil
3 - Add the soil through the gap using the funnel.
Cover the Gap and Make the Second Insole
4 - Cover the gap with silicone once you are done with the soil. The insole should have 70% of its capacity used by the soil. Repeat 1 through 4 to create the other insole.
