Go for something unforgettable with these lovely flower-detailed heels without breaking the bank! Take a pair of old white boots and place decals of your choice on the sides; in this case, we chose flowers. 

Place the adhesive side onto the boot and lightly dab it with a wet sponge. 

Remove the first sticker and place more to make a cute pattern.

7. DIY bridal flip-flops

Every bride needs to feel comfortable. Whether it is between hair and makeup, lounging around with her besties, footwear for a casual beach wedding, or honeymoon accessories, these lovely bridal flip-flops are perfect. 

To make these, simply glue and wrap the organza ribbon around the toe thongs. Do this section-by-section, so the glue doesn’t dry up. 

Then, wrap the ribbon around the inner “V” portion of the toe thong to close it up. 

Lastly, glue pearls around the whole surface. 

Now, you’re ready to get pampered with this pair of beautiful pearly white flip-flops.
