We just LOVE making these flip flops! If you've got a scarf or some fabric stashed at home or in your craft kit which you've been waiting to use, then this is the project to dig it our for! This project is super easy, super quick and adds such a great pop of colour and personality to your summer wardrobe...we have several pairs, they're just addictive to make! If your flip flops rub your feet and make them sore this is also a great way to make them comfy...no more sore spots! Enjoy :)

Gather your awesome materials!
Cut your scarf or fabric into 4 pieces, each approx. 40 inches wide and approx. 72 inches long
Cut the straps off your flip flops and chuck em away!
Cut a V-shape into the top of all four scarf pieces.
Take two of your scarf pieces by the top and push them both together through the top toe hole in each flip flop.
Tie together in a big double knot and pull tight to fit inside the hole on the underside of the sole.
Cut the ends and squash your knot into the hole. Secure using glue gun if you have one.
Turn over and tie a knot approx. one inch off the base (this is to keep your toes snug!) Try putting your feet in to see how they fit.
Tie another knot, roughly one inch higher than the first knot.
Pop the ends through each rear hole…
…and put your feet in to make sure you get the right size. Pull tight (they will get slacker over time), do a double knot each end then snip and secure as before.
…and voila, marvel at your flip flop making skills! Now all you need is a beach and a pina colada to go with them. Enjoy! :)
