Instructions for the manufacture of flip-flops

Probably everyone knows that the technology of making beautiful flip-flops Invented by prisoners who spent a long time in prison. Of course, these items are not used to count the prayers. They make them in order to show this cultic object some kind of belonging to a particular group of people in the hierarchical structure of a specific prison society. This article provides an instruction that will allow you to make beads from bread.

To make this product you will need:

1. Ordinary bread. Buy should be the product of the worst quality. Bread should be from third-grade white flour.

2. Matter, with which you will be comfortable to do rubbing.

3. Sugar.

Note that white light bread, in which an artificial volume stabilizer is added, is not suitable for the production of flip-flops. That is, you need to buy or bake a natural product.

Separate all the crumb of bread from the crust and fold it into a saucepan. Then add "on the eye" sugar. It is difficult to calculate exact proportions, only an experienced master will be able to do this. Then you should pour the contents of the pot with steep boiling water and leave in a warm place for several days. The readiness of the mass can be determined by the characteristic very acidic odor. If you smell it, it means that your bread is sour, and you can start making flip flops. Now get all your stuff out of the water and gently squeeze it out. Next, you need to rub it through a piece of calico or coarse calico. You can throw away all the excess leftovers, they will not be useful to you.

Ready frayed squeezing simply spread on cellophane, so that the working material will dry. From time to time, try to mix it and turn it over. When the mass becomes similar in its consistency to plasticine, get down to business. Begin to sculpt from it the desired links of flip-flops. Know that if they are arranged in a row at intervals of five millimeters, the total length of them should be the length of your palm. This rule applies to perchid beads. As a result, you will get a very strong product, so after the links have dried up, pierce them with a needle with a strong and thick synthetic thread. Remember that as the bread dries up, you should pull the thread so that it does not completely stick to the working material. In addition, this will help you to bore the holes of the links to the right size. Then you should sculpt or cut patterns and symbols with a thin knife, until the material is completely dry and still pliable.

In order to color the beads in black, you need to recompense a few tablets of ordinary activated carbon in a plastic mass, which is sold in a pharmacy. If you do not plan to calcine the product, you can achieve other colors by adding a paste of ballpoint pens to the mass of tablets.

When all links dry completely, for maximum strength of the cult object, remove them from the thread, place in a cold oven for a while, bring the temperature of the gas stove to 120-150 degrees, properly burn the product without increasing the temperature. As soon as the rosary cools down, they can be cut with a thin knife or special cutters and can safely collect the finished product.
