Fabulous,Fun, Flip Flops For the Fourth

One simple pair of flip flops........
a little work.........


and you will have these FABULOUS, FUN, FLIP FLOPS for the FOURTH!

What fun it is to have a little girl to dress up. I have seen several girls sporting these cute as a button flip flops, and after getting a few good looks at them I decided to try my hand at creating a pair for my girly girl. They are easy as pie to make, and will add that EXTRA SOMETHING to any little girl's outfit. I have made this pair to go with my daughter's Fourth of July outfit.

You will need a variety of ribbon. I chose red,white, and blue colored ribbon in a variety of designs and widths. A pair of flip flops that coordinate with ribbon, and a pair of scissors.

  1. Cut pieces of ribbons of various widths into strips measuring 4 1/2 or 5 inches in length.

  2. Tie strips in tight knots around the plastic straps, making sure the strips are close together with no space in between them.

  3. Continue alternating pattern and widths until you have the thong part of the flip flop covered.
  4. If needed, and to suit your style trim ribbons to a shorter length.

In a short time you have created a very cute pair of flip flops your daughter will love. Now that you know how to make these you can experiment with other ribbon choices that will match other outfits that are hanging in your daughter's closet.
