A Flip Flop Makeover!

 

 

 

 

 

What you need:

-          Inexpensive plastic flip flops

-          Glue gun

-          Ribbon

-          Fabric flowers

-          Gems or beads

-          Tweezers

-          Adult Assistant

 

You will need an adult assistant to help you with this craft.

What you do:

1.       If you would like to add bows to your flip flops, make two small bows out of ribbon.

2.       Have your adult assistant use the hot glue gun to put a large bead of glue wherever you want to position your bow or flower on the top of your flip flop.

3.       Hold bow or flower in place with the tweezers until the glue is dry.

4.       Holding a gem or bead with tweezers, ask your adult assistant to put a small bead of hot glue on the back and affix the gem or bead to the middle of the bow or flower.

5.       Repeat with second flip flop.

    Yeah, these totally rock. I love them. SwizzlePuff is an odd name, is it not? I like when people comment to me. Like why do dogs, eat dog food?

      I love your username Swizzle Puff! These are cool flip flop ideas.
      Pizza Eating Time p.s. I’ve had dog food, its not bad, it just has a weird taste afterwards. But I sometimes get sick after eating it. Well i’ve ate it once and I got sick afterwards.

    • SwizzlePuff says:

      Hey, I have a tip for all you making these flip flops. When using the hot glue gun. Let the glue dry before wearing them. I learned the hard way. OUCH!

            If I ever post an idea in the comments, anyone can use it, I don’t mind.

          • SwizzlePuff says:

            Was that green stripe on the flip flops when you got them, or did they just put it on. Either way is fine, I am just curious.

      I have been using WKN for a long time, so here are (hopefully) helpful tips.
      1) You can come up with a “username” to use with comments, or just use your Webkinz username.
      2)Look at the “labels” at the top of this article(and all others) are News Blog, Kinzapedia,etc. Those can help you navigate around WKN.
      3) After you do #2, click one and under those labels are highlighted words such as on Kinzapedia: Pets, Items, Places,etc.
      Hope these help!

    Cute, but some other glue would work better. You can also glue ribbon or sequin strips to the straps of the flip flops to cover up ugly plastic ones. You can use just about anything to decorate them!
