Spring Flip Flops Tutorial

Here was my problem:  "Easter is tomorrow and no white sandals!" I did not like the selection at Walmart and did not want to make an extra trip to the mall for the hunt. 

 Solution: "Embellished Flip Flops"

This week flip flops are 1/2 off at hobby lobby so they are about 75 cents!!  I bought white ones at full price last week 1.47 -still not too bad and had the rest of the supplies at home.

Here is what you need:

glue gun

ribbon

2 "REAL" diamonds-jk

flip flops

flowers

thread

So to start I wrapped the 3/8" ribbon on the tip of the flip flop.  You won't find much success by just gluing directly on the flip flop it just doesn't last on the plastic.

glue the ribbon on top of each other and wrap, wrap, glue, wrap, etc.

Now I decided to make a simple small boutique bow to glue the flower on top of. to do that here are pictures to show you how i did that.

So real quick, you make a figure 8, bring loops in and scrunch with your fingers.  At this point, I use thread and wrap around it and tie in a not.  I don't have 3 hands so to do this I put one end of the thread in my mouth, hold the bow scrunched in one hand and the other hand I wrap around the thread with the other hand.

Next glue flower on top of the bow and glue the bow on the flip flop.

This is how she looked.
