Ribbon Flip Flops

Supplies Needed

Various Colored 3/8" Grosgrain Ribbons 

Flip Flops

Scissors

(This is such an easy craft that it works great for birthday parties)

1. Cut several equal length ribbons to cover tops of both flip flops, length of ribbon depends on the size of the flip flop you're using. Make sure the ends are at an angle to help prevent (or slow down) fraying. You can also put a little clear glue on the ends if your ribbon frays, use Fray Check, or very carefully burn the edges with a lighter.

2. Start tying the ribbons in the middle and continue towards the edge of the shoe, making sure to alternate colors for variety. Make sure you tie ribbon in a double knot to keep it from coming loose.
3. That's it!!  Easy, easy...

Water Balloon Flip Flops

These take about an hour to make, but the colors and possibilities are endless!!

*You'll need two bags of multi-colored small water balloons, make sure you choose water balloons for the bold, beautiful colors.
*A pair of flip flops - often available at craft stores, Old Navy, Target, or Walmart for a few dollars.

 Begin by stretching and wrapping a single balloon around the rubber foot straps. Pulling the balloon tightly, tie it into a simple square knot.

 Continue the process until the entire straps are completely covered with knotted balloons. Push the balloons close to each other for a fully covered appearance.
