Sensational Scrap Sandals!

Spring is coming! Are your feet ready for some flip flop action?!? I know mine are! I decorated some kids flip flops with fabric scraps. This could easily be done with adult sandals, but of course your would need more scraps.

Cut a BUNCH of strips to about 6x3 inch strips. They don't have to be exact, as the final product should be a bit frazzled-looking anyway. After you cut a bunch of strips, start tying them on your sandals. I double knotted mine. I ended up tying about 32 strips on each sandal, so about 64 per pair (it is a lot of work and you may get finger cramps - just fair warning). I positioned the strips so they weren't all facing the same exact direction, but so that they were all facing out from the foot.

I used lovely spring colors and butterflies, but you could do these in any color or pattern. You could do all one type of fabric or use several different ones like I did. Use your imagination and see what you can come up with. Have a favorite sports team or need a pair to wear to school events? Use those colors! Have a favorite holiday? Make some to wear for that!

Go flip flop crazy! -Kristen
