How to Decorate Flip Flops

It's possible to have as many different styles of flip flops as you want by decorating them yourself. It is an inexpensive way to change your look and have fun with a craft.

Things You'll Need

• Flip flops
• Embellishments
• White glue
• Glitter paint
• Paintbrush
• Silk flowers

Instructions

1. Purchase inexpensive flip flops to decorate. You can usually find a good variety at Michael's Crafts or Old Navy.

2. Buy the embellishments that you want to use to decorate the flip flops. These can run the gamut from simple ribbons to fancy rhinestones. Once again, Michael's is a good store to find embellishments as they provide one-stop shopping for flip flops and the items to decorate them.

3. Use glitter paint to decorate around the outside of the flip flop. Use a paintbrush to apply. Brush on straps or leave plain and decorate with feathers or buttons.

4. Choose two beautiful silk flowers at the craft store. Glue one onto each flip flop at the point where the straps come together.

5. Go crazy and decorate flip flops to match a wedding dress. Strings of pearls and dazzling rhinestones can glam up a very comfortable alternative for wedding footwear. Extend the flip flop decorating to the bridesmaids and flower girls. Match or coordinate the color of the flip flops and embellishments to the attendants dresses.

Tips & Warnings

• Use white household glue or low temperature hot glue to embellish your flip flops.

• Let all decorations on flip flops dry overnight before wearing. There will be less chance of having an embellishment fall off if glue dries completely.

• Don't use brads or rhinestones that poke through the top of the flip flop. They will rub on your skin and cause discomfort.
