How to Make Flip Flops with Bling

Decorating Your Own Flip Flops for Summer

With 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 🙂

Take 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.

Keep wrapping an gluing until you have completed the entire flip flip.

Then weaving in and out of the top, create an angle for you to place more gems.

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.

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!!

After the gems have dried, take your new shoes for a spin! What did you think about this tutorial? If you skip the ribbon wrapping and the hot glue gun, this is a PERFECT craft for you and the little ones to do this summer! We will be making more of these for sure!
