What You'll Need & How to + DIY 4th of July Patriotic Ribbon Flip Flops:
- Flip flops - you can find flip flops at a variety of stores for around $1. We hit a sale at Old Navy however, we've also seen them at WalMart in a vareity of colors for .99 cents.
- (2) "fat quaters" of fabric that are printed on both sides. We found ours at WalMart for $1 each.
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Cut both fat quarters into strips. Each strip should be 2"W x 6" L . Note: You'll cut the excess down after your knots are tied. It's simply easier for younger children to tie longer strips.
- Once your strips are cut, fold your strips in half pull them through/tie them (tying a double knot) to the bands on your flip flops (refer to image). Continue until your bands are completely covered (Note: make sure that your knots are tied on the top side of the band - the surface that does not meet with the top of your foot).
- After your bands are completely covered, begin to trim your fabric down you should leave a length of about 1"of fabric on each side of each knot. Note: this step should be done piece by piece - cutting more than one piece at a time can cause undesirable amounts of fraying. When complete, you should have super cute shabby chic ruffled look flip-flops - wear and enjoy!
use ribbons (we found ours at WalMart). Same lengths, same steps as outlined above. Super cute results! Perfect DIY attire for the upcoming 4th of July holiday.
