Supplies
1 pair of rubber flip flops (can be found at stores such as Old Navy for $3.50 each or 2 for $5.00)
Ribbon: 2 yards 5/8" ribbon for straps; 8-10 inch piece of 1/8" ribbon for small bow
Hot glue gun, hot glue sticks
Scissors
Miscellaneous decorations such as ready made bows, beads, "jewels", flowers, etc.
Directions
1. Remove all tags from flip flops and cut a long piece of the wider ribbon (approximately 2 feet) to cover the straps.
2. Glue one end of the ribbon to the base of one flip flop strap.
3. Begin tightly wrapping the ribbon around the strap.
4. When you get to the part of the flip flop that goes between the toes, you can either continue wrapping the ribbon onto the next strap or wrap it around the part that divides the toes. For our flip flops, we wrapped the toe divider. Start to wrap the second strap, then wrap the divider piece, then continue onto the second strap.
5. When you get to the base of the second strap, cut any extra ribbon off. Glue the ribbon end onto the second strap's base.
6. Add bows, jewels, or wrap a contrast color ribbon around the straps. For our flip flops, we created small bows. Tie a bow; then hot glue it onto the flip flop.
