If You Are Hella Bored, You Can Make Your Own Clap-Off Bra

Have you ever used your clapper to turn out the lights at night — and then drifted asleep, dreaming of something even bigger? Like, what else could you possibly clap-on, clap-off? Well, one person dared to dream that dream — and they’re here to show you how to apply the same technology to make your own clap-off over the shoulder bounder holder. (Actually, I’m pretty sure this thing won’t hold boulders — maybe small gem stones?)

Laughing Squid points us to this how to for a clap-off bra. It looks like waaaay more trouble than it’s worth — I actually haven’t figured out its worth, except maybe in a burlesque performance? Or perhaps you have an affinity for mechanical underwear? — but if you want to get started, you’ll need these things:
