Flip Flop Redo (Tutorial)

Last week Miss Sydney, ever particular, was complaining that her flip flops were hurting her feet.  She then declared they just weren't fancy enough.  What's a girl to do?  Flip flops certainly won't break the bank but if you happen to want to fancy them up a bit, you can easily switch your standard flip flops into a customized pair.  Easy and economical, my girls are asking for more pairs of these for the Summer!
 
Materials Needed -
  • A pair of flip flops
  • Fabric of your choice
  • Scissors 
Directions
  • Cut the straps off your flip flops and remove so that you have only three holes on the pad of the shoe
  • Cut you fabric in strips to your desired thickness.  You could also use pinking sheers to avoid any raw edges
  • Lay out your fabric in an open triangle shape
  • Insert the end of your fabric into each of the holes and knot in the back.
  • Trim so that fabric settles into the original flip flop hole and reinforce with hot glue if desired
  • Have fun at the beach!
 Have fun!  *Linking up today over at the Domestic Diva and Create With Joy! Come share what you've been up to!*

  4. Hello Jessica,

    What a wonderful easy idea!
    I bet the fabric feels better
    than the plastic piece on the
    foot.

    Thanks for sharing
    Bear Hugs,
    Carolyn
