Flip Flop Summer Craft

Here's a cool way to dress up some old flip flops. My grandma got the idea for the craft from Hannah, a piano student of my great-aunt, who called my grandma to tell her how to make them. Thanks for the cool idea, Hannah! It takes about 10 minutes to cut enough strips for one pair and about half an hour to do the craft. Here are the steps:

1. Cut lots of different colours of fabric into 1" x 5" strips
2. Double-tie the strips onto the toe straps of the flip flops. Tie two knots for each strip.
3. If you want symmetrical colours, tie the same colour at the same place on each of the toe straps on both flip flops - so four of one colour.
4. You can just pick random colours too - it looks just as good.
5. You can trim the ends a bit if you like or leave them long.

Here are some pictures of the flip flops we made:

  1. That really is a fun idea. And the flip flops look raggedy and cool. Will have to try that!
