MAKE YOUR
VERY OWN PAIR OF FANCY FLIP FLOPS
By: eringobearin
Materials
*White craft glue
*Colorful feathers, old boa, or colorful buttons
*Pair of flip flop sandals
Button flip-flops:
- Using white craft glue, start in the center
of the flip-flop strap and attach buttons, one
after another.
- Allow the glue to dry for an hour or two
before wearing.
Feather flip-flops:
- Start at the bottom of one of the straps and
glue feathers in place, one by one, working your
way up toward the center. Repeat this process
for the other strap, meeting in the center.
- Fill in any gaps with excess feathers.
- Feathers can be trimmed with scissors as you
go, if needed.
- Allow the glue to dry for an hour or two
before wearing.
Tips:
- Flip-flops are available at most discount
department stores, drug stores and even some
craft stores. Flip-flops in craft stores are
generally about $2.00 per pair and come in a
variety of colors.
- Feathers in a multitude of colors are
available in bags from any craft store. You can
also find them at discount department stores but
the selection is usually not as large.
- We do not recommend hot glue for this
project as it comes loose from the plastic too
easily. White craft glue will hold better.
