Here’s a no-sew, no-glue way to jazz them up and make them feel good on your feet. And it only takes a minute or two.

You’ll also need two rectangular scarves (one for each shoe). A cotton mix is better than a silky one for this.

And that’s literally all you need.

2. Wrap it

Find the center of your scarf and tie it around the post of the flip flop.


Check you have an equal length of scarf free on each side.

Put the shoe on.


Take the free ends behind your heel and cross them at the back of your ankle.


Bring them to the front and tie them in a knot or a bow.
