Hi all, first time posting here, have a doozie of a question.
I have this project where I need to make black bird-demon clawed feet. I have this insulation foam, I have some black deerskin, I have one of those reusable shopping bags (also black), I've got black elastic, and black velcro.
Has anyone dealt with something like this before?

The foam will give me the shape, but am just having trouble with adhering the pieces together. I'm pondering all manners of different approaches to attaching the claws to the shoes in a way that won't fall off if misstepped - or even detatchable so that they can be put back if they do fall off.

Here's what I know so far:
-contact cement on foam melts the foam and gives no bond
-super glue on foam gives good bond but the foam itself can still easily fail
-sewing velcro/elastic to the shopping bag fabric/leather will always be the best bond
-contact cement between the shoe and the leather gives a solid bond
-super glue inside the velcro immortalizes the bond

One strategy I'm showing in pic related is making sleeves made from the shopping bag fabric that fit on the front and back of the shoe, which can then be held together and to the shoe by elastic. This makes them detatchable and relatively well held, I just need to find a way to adhere the claws to the sleeve.

Any advice for/against this approach? Any better ones?
