DIY Moccasins from Eel Skins

By intouchoz

Tan an eel and then make your own moccasins that are durable for both outdoors and inside use and are very comfortable. When I was young, my dad used to bring home eels that had been caught during the recent floods. Because he had an attitude to not waste anything (it was touch surviving in those days), he was always great at creating a voyage of discovery for my brother and sister. We have been making moccasins in my family like this for 70 - 100 years. Making moccasins is something I have passed on to my own children, even though now, we used (recycled) discarded skins we find in op shops and yard (garage) sales.
