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!
Well that is a genius idea that I never would have thought of!

DeleteHello Jessica,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful easy idea!
I bet the fabric feels better
than the plastic piece on the
foot.
Thanks for sharing
