Clogs (Bakiak)

Wood, old tyres and one very loud race.

A slab of light wood and a strap cut from a used tyre: bakiak are cheap, waterproof and nearly indestructible. Every August they come out for the Independence Day race, three people on one long pair, falling over together. This pair is for one person. Falling over is optional.

How to build

From flat to finished

01Print every sheet at actual size on 160–200 gsm paper.
02Score the fold lines with an empty ballpoint and a ruler before you cut.
03Cut along the solid lines. Where the legend shows a star, cut a hole.
04Fold, then glue part by part in number order, holding each tab until it grips.
05Let it dry before you play with it.
