It's WISE to DIY: Thrify Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer

He Slices Up This Tire To Save Money On New Shoes…GENIUS!!

There are certain activites that just wreak havoc on the soles of your shoes.  One of them is skateboarding (which I am guessing this DIY is doing based on the type of shoes he is repairing).

If you have your tire, first cut all the way down into it till you feel the metal, cut out a big strip.

Get out your materials:
