Now take the braids and poke three holes into the cardboard and hard plastic bottom. Make sure to burn the edges of the plastic braids so they stay together.

Tie the plastic braids from the bottom and carefully burn the excess plastic starting from the top. The fire will melt the plastic and this is what we want because we can then pinch and press it down to make it flat. We want the ends to be flat in order to walk.

Finished!
