Flip Flops are by-far the favorite kid kicks of summer. With this project, your kids can customize their own pair in just a few easy steps. Looking for more fun flip flop designs? Check out our Pinterest page: Pinterest.com.

What you will need:

  • Pair of Flip Flops
  • Decorative Embellishments (we used silk flowers, but you could also use butterflies, jewels, bows, etc.)
  • Glue (try E6000 Craft Adhesive)

Directions: 

Start by cleaning your flops (if you are decorating an old pair), paying extra attention to the thong area as this is where you will be applying the glue. Next, get your embellishments ready by making sure the backs (where you will be applying the glue) has a nice, flat surface. Since we used silk flowers, we trimmed off the leaves and stems. Next, add glue to both the center of the “V” of the flip flops’ thong and the back of your embellishment and place the two together. Hold your embellishment in place for a few seconds to set in place. Allow the glue to dry completely before wearing.
