Make your own flip flops with blingWith summer around the corner, flip flop season is now here as well! Why not make your very own flip flops with some added bling? You can easily do that these days with all of the cool craft supplies you can find at any of your craft stores.For these flip flops I decided to make them a little different. While most kits just have you adding gems, I added a little wrap around ribbon and double the bling to REALLY make them pop.
Here is what you are going to need for these DIY flip flops with bling:
- flip flops (mine were $1.99)
- 2 packages of beads
- 2 rolls of craft ribbon
- hot glue gun
- flip flop gem glue
- pedicure :-)
craft supplies for DIY Flip Flops with BlingTake your ribbon and hot glue it into place and then start wrapping it around the flip flop, alternating with hot glue to keep it in place.
Start hereKeep wrapping an gluing until you have completed the entire flip flip.
This is what you should have so far.Then weaving in and out of the top, create an angle for you to place more gems.
Make sure to hot glue these pieces as well so they stay.Now it's time to add your gems. Make sure to follow the instruction on the back of the glue so you don't end up with something you don't like.
Pick out a pattern and glue on your bling!After you have finished gluing all of your gems on, let them sit for 24 hours to completely cure and then wear them all over and show off your new shoes!!
