How to Make Ancient Roman Sandals

For all our unit studies for homeschool, we try to do some hands on projects and activities. For our Ancient Roman history main lesson block this time around, we used the book Classical Kids: An Activity Guide to Life in Ancient Greece and Rome (Hands-On History) by Lauri Carlson as inspiration for projects. Today we're making some Roman sandals using some leather remnants we got second hand. Because our leather pieces were so small, we had to alter the design a bit. These are very basic and work well for our history unit, but may not be historically accurate. Regardless, the spirit of the project was far more memorable than working towards historical perfection. For this project you will need some sturdy fabric large enough to to fit your feet with about a 2 inch addition all around. You'll also need more fabric to cut long strips for the straps. Additionally, you'll need paper, pencil and scissors. Duration of project: about 30 minutes Cost: minimal and can be made using spare fabric from old clothes if necessary Level: easy Check out the other videos in our Ancient Rome main lesson block:    • How To Do A Unit Study: Ancient Rome   Find the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Classical-Kids...
