Kaylee LOVES flip flops. She is always wearing a pair of them...usually her own, but not always. I went to Target to get her another pair and they didn't have anymore in her size that were girlie colors. I love brown, so I went to the boy's section and got her a pair of brown ones and figured we jazz them up a bit.
I cut the back strap off because she likes to put the flip flops on herself. The back strap just gets in her way.My friend, Lisa, gave me a bag of these fun little embellishments a few years ago. I'm not sure what they are called, but they are great! I've used them for cards, church handouts, a couple of scrapbooking pages, and I still have a TON left. They were perfect for these little flip flops.
I covered the strap with some permanent bond glue. It takes about 8 hours to dry, but those little pretties are not going to come off. Ever. Then I randomly stuck the embellishments on and let them dry.
How easy is that? I think I need a pair for myself. My brown ones have seen better days. I don't know why I hang onto them so long, they are cheap!

ReplyDeleteBecky, I am sorry it has taken me so long to see your question and get back to you! I didn't see any contact info on your blogger profile, so hopefully if I answer your question here, you'll see it!
ReplyDeleteI used a lock tight type of glue that I found at walmart in a tube. I bought it to glue ribbon on the back of tiles. It held the ribbon tight and the tiles were HEAVY, so it's good stuff. It's held the little embellishments on the flip flops great. It's been over a month, and we haven't lost a single jewel. Hope this helps!
Thanks Brandy! I'm going to try to find that glue.
ReplyDeletelove this idea- it is something i could even do with my daughter, and she loves some bling!
