Decorating Flip Flops
Ribbons look classy and smart. Roll them around the straps of your flip flops. You can match the ribbon colors to your dresses. The shine of the ribbon looks amazing in the sun and can be a great footwear for night parties too. Cut the ribbon strip, long enough so that you can wind it around the strap. Decide the color scheme in advance, so that you get the desired final result.
Embellishments make the flip flops look jazzy and funky. They add to the bling missing in your outfit. You will get plastic gems in the market. To make an embellished flip flop, buy pre-drilled gems. Decide the color scheme and string the gems accordingly. Now take a piece of fabric, as long as the strap of the flip flop. Stick the garland of gems on top of it. Et voila! Your brand new, glittering flip flop is ready!
Floral Prints are always in fashion, especially if you are going surfing to a beach. Buy big plastic flowers, such as sunflower, roses or any flower. Take a piece of contrasting fabric and stick along the straps of your flip flops. Now glue the big flower right at the center and let it dry.
Paint Abstract Designs on your flip flops. Create a theme or just about any abstract design on the upper sole of your flip flop. For the retro effect you can make some polka dots. If you are interested in a theme, then a blend of purple, orange, pink and black would make a beautiful sunset theme. You can paint hearts, butterflies and foot balls. Paint the straps too, they will add to the excitement and attraction of your footwear.
Personalized Flip Flops are a lovely decorating idea for flip flops. They will add an element to your footwear! To make them personalized, you can paint your face on the upper sole of the flip flop. For the straps, you can have some fancy lettering of your name. Better still, paint them in your favorite colors. How much more personalized could your flip flops get!
Feather Flip Flops are fabulous to look and easy to wear. To start making feather flip flops, glue some feathers on the straps of the flip flops. Paint the bird (to whom the feather's belong) on the upper sole. Or you can get a plastic cut out of the bird and paste it at the center. This will add to the drama and interest to your footwear.
Flip flops are very comfortable to wear and are worn by each one of us. Decorating them is a very good slumber party activity too. It can also be included as an art and craft activity in schools. To make your task easier, you also get the ready-made decorating kits.
