Woven slippers

 I've decided to make some slippers from my garden day lily leaves after finding these two links on the internet.

I made a few changes, but overall, they turned out pretty well.  The stitching is far from perfect, but I'm happy with them, and now it's off of my to do list.  Here are the steps of the process.
Special tools needed:  curved needle, a last (shoe form) of each foot, hole puncher.

How long did they take?  I didn't keep track, but I would guess about 8-10 hours each.
