Flip Flop Fun

This is such an easy way to spruce up kids $2.50 flip flops from Walmart.  Which, by the way (and on a completely different note), couponing has kept me out of Walmart for a while now.  Which is one huge incentive for me to keep up with my coupons!  You get used to wonderful customer service, friendly employees, and a clean store like Publix, that going back to Walmart was like culture shock for me!  Hope it's a while before I go back there again - I think I'll clip some more coupons this morning! ;-)


Back to the flops - the ribbon was $1.97 and I have some left over.  Maybe for a hair bow?

I first made the two bows the way I talked about HERE.  Then I took some wire and secured the bow to the flip flop.

Voila!









Then I took some pink scrap ribbon and covered the wire using a hot glue gun!  Love my mini hot glue gun - I got it for like 4 bucks a couple of years ago!






And there ya go!  Cute flip flops for under $4!





And now I'll show you just how dirty my floors apparently are.  ;-)






Then I decided to get all crazy and make Lillian a pair!!  She LOVES them.  These flip flops were from Target!  It was a little more difficult to get these bows on.  I had to actually sew them to the top.  But I think they turned out so cute! 

So go get crafty!  (And you really don't even have to be that crafty to do this super easy and cute tweak!)
