DIY Using Rubber Feet

Our self-adhesive bumpers can be used on a variety of projects, from homemade picture frames to DIY kitchen cabinet protection.  So dust off the cobwebs from your Pinterest boards! You pinned that DIY project six months ago while daydreaming of warmer climates, and they’ve finally arrived.

Go outside and grab some inspiration from the blooming flowers for your springtime DIY craft. Luckily, the Bumper Specialties’ Pinterest boards have no shortage of ideas in which you can gain inspiration or build something of your own creation; whichever you choose, make sure you bring bumper feet with you.

There are DIY drink coaster projects on Pinterest that use clear rubber feet. This project in particular uses a stencil to imprint an image on the glass coaster. Their final but most important step is putting rubber feet on the underside of the tile!

Rubber feet are the unsung heroes of these projects. You might not be able to see them, but affixing rubber pads on the corners of your coasters ensures the longevity of your handiwork. Bumpers are especially important for glass or ceramic coasters because they will not scratch, mar, stain, or otherwise ruin your tabletop. Try an inconspicuous clear hemispherical bumper like our BS-12 that will blend seamlessly with the aesthetic of the coaster.

Buzzfeed published a list of DIY ceramic coasters perfect for a spring afternoon project. We especially like #8, check out the cool watercolor effect you can achieve using markers. You can also use things you find around the house, like old doilies or a burlap bag.

Once you’ve completed your project, head to your patio and enjoy your coasters with a nice glass of lemonade and let the vitamin D - and the gratification of accomplishment - wash over you.

So Much Schiit Uses Rubber Feet

Our polyurethane bumpers are used on audio components to provide vibration resistance and allow air flow into the units. From protecting portable iPod docks to high end speakers, rubber feet on audio equipment are essential for optimal functionality. Bumper Specialties offers a variety of replacement rubber feet for speakers. If you’re looking for something a little bulkier with more durability, our BS-17 is perfect for subwoofer applications.

For something a little more discreet, we have small hemispherical rubber spacers that are used by companies like Schiit Audio. Schiit is an audio equipment manufacturing company that specializes in headphone amplifiers, so yes; you can finally get the optimum use out of your Beats headphones.

They’ve also perfected the art of producing an affordable, sophisticated product with genius marketing.

They certainly caught our attention with their witty quips, but their clever marketing (did you notice the Norse mythology references?) is only secondary to their amazing products.

I know you’re probably thinking, “There’s no way I could afford this Schiit,” but their prices are fair and their products are built to last. Magni, one of their high output headphone amps, is the only product of its kind under $100 in the United States.

Schiit is also made in the USA – and thus our love affair was cemented in eternity.

Schiit uses state of the art technology to produce the purest sound for their customers, and we are proud that our amplifier feet are an integral part of that production. If you have amplifier needs, make sure you check this Schiit out.
