Summer Wearable DIY #1

Summer is by far my favorite time to do WEARABLE DIYs. This includes many things- t-shirts, sneakers, and, of course, a summer favorite... (drum roll, please) ... FLIP-FLOPS!


I decided to start of my Summer Wearable DIY Section with a
simple, easy, and cute craft that anyone can do!

To do this craft, you will need:

  • Flip-flips. I recommend going cheap. Mine were $0.98 at Wal-Mart.
  • Ribbon. Again, cheap isn't always bad. My ribbon was all Offray brand, which you can buy 6 yds of at, once again, Wal-Mart.
  • And last, but never least, scissors!











To start this craft, cut a piece of ribbon of your choice about 8 inches long. 

Then, fold it in half and put it underneath the strap with the fold facing the inside of the flip-flop. 







Next, put the two ends of the ribbon around the strap and through the folded part of the ribbon, as shown below.
Tighten it.











And continue, alternating colors if you want. Do whatever you'd like. This flip-flops are ALL yours!!


Once you're done, your flip-flops should look fun and fringe-y!


Some ribbon is slick, so the ribbons will come undone. If this happens, just re-tie them or glue them with hot glue to the rubber strap.
