Funky Flip Flops

Super fun and easy for birthday parties, slumber parties or just for summer fun.   Girls of all ages love them
… kids, tweens or teens!  They are easy and inexpensive to make.  The perfect summer craft and party favor rolled
 into one. 

1.  What you'll need:  Cheap solid color flip flops and cotton fabric (or use fabric scraps) in different shades and patterns that blend well together.  For each pair of flip flops you will need approximately 1/4 of a yard of combined material.  (We have also made these using old t-shirts).

2.  How to prepare: Cut fabric into strips approximately 1″ wide x 6″ long.  For younger kids cut the strips 5/8″ wide and 4″ long.  You’ll need about 35 strips per flip - flop … 70 for the pair.

3.  Putting it all together:   Place a fabric strip underneath the top part of the flipflop and bring the two edges together so they are even.  Tie the fabric onto the
 top of the flip flops and then knot it one time.  Tug the
 strips so the two pieces fall forward - toward the front of the flipflop.  Repeat until the entire top of the flip - flops
are covered.   If the strips are too long and hang over the side just trim them to just above the bottom of the flip
flop. 

My daughter made these because her school colors are
black and red.  Make yours with bright yellows, reds,
aquas and greens - or any color that matches your theme. 

You can also use ribbon - saves time on the cutting!
