Tutorial - Colorful Flip Flops
This green caught my eye at a doller store last week. I always wanted to try something with flip flops but I didn't want to spend that much on them. I know I am cheap, and usually the cheap ones don't come in the colors I want. This was perfect!
Back in December I went to American Crafts' warehouse sale, so I had tons of ribbons. The fun part was picking out the right combination of ribbons.
For this project you will need:
- Flip flops
- Ribbons(I chose four but you can pick more or less)
- fray check or a lighter
- scissors
- ruler
First, cut the ribbons diagonally. These are small flip flops so I cut the ribbons 6" long. Then, to prevent the ribbon from fraying, use fray check or a lighter to seal the ends.
Tie the ribbons to the flip flops.
That's it! It was super easy and a fun project to do. I have some left over from the jelly roll, they might be so cute to tie it on to flip flops too! the whole time I was working on this, my daughter kept asking, "Is this mine?" or "Is it done yet?"
Here you go, honey. They are all yours, I just wanted to make them. Now my curiosity is satisfied.
Enjoyed the project?

Clever! I will try this soon!
I did this one year for 4th of July - red/white/blue ribbons with stars! You can add little charms or trinkets, too! They looked really cute with denim shorts (or capris) and a decorated white T-shirt. They make nice little gifts for family/friends too!
