How to Decorate Sandals
-
1
Purchase some inexpensive flip-flops at Old Navy, Big Lots, Wal-Mart or any other discount store. Typically you can find these for under $10, in a variety of colors.
-
2
Gather up accessories to customize your sandals. This is a great opportunity to use fabric or ribbon scraps you have around the house. Consider bright or unusual buttons, old jewelry, beads or sequins. Sill flowers are a great addition to the center of a sandal. Have on hand a glue gun, needle and thread, Velcro and even some old newspaper to cover your work space.

Wind fabric or ribbon along the straps and seal firmly into place with your glue gun. Add sequins or beads to the fabric for an extra sparkle.

4
Take an interesting button or old piece of jewelry and either sew it to the center of where the straps join, or use hot glue. A silk daisy or other flower also looks great in this spot between your toes.

You can also use small, round pieces of Velcro to attach your flower or button.
