Scarf Flip Flops with a Bow!

Hi! Welcome back. Tonight we're making flip flops with scarfs. Trust me, they turn out really cute and if you can get everything on sale, then they don't cost much either. :)

What you'll need:

• A pair of cheap flip flops
• Scarf
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun

Step One:

          Cut the scarf in half and then in half again. You will need  4 long pieces. Cut the plastic foot holders off the top of the flip flops and remove the circle things off the bottom.

Step Two:

          Take two ends of the scarf and twist them together so they can be placed through the top part of the flip flops. I used a pen to shove the scarf pieces through the hole.

Step Three: 

          Take the two scarves on the other side and tie them together, twice, to form a double knot.

Step Four:

          On the top, tie the scarfs together twice with regular knots. Then take both scarfs together and make one knot. This will provide enough room for your toes. 

Step Five:

          Make a bow as big as you want it.

Step Six:

          Take one scarf and twist it so you can feed it through the hole at the bottom. (Pretend that there's a bow at the top...) Repeat on the other side

 Step Seven:

         Turn over and make knots right below the holes. Just one knot on each side. Push them into the holes so the soles will be flat. Make sure that your feet fit comfortably in the sandals before you continue to the next step. You don't want the straps to be loose because if you used a cotton scarf, they will stretch a little.

Step Eight:

           Now that your sandals fit properly, you can hot glue the knots in the holes to make everything secure. 

Step Nine: 

          I hot glued everything because nothing is more embarrassing than having a flip flop break on you. I hot glued the front of the holes around the scarf and the bow so it won't come undone. I don't have a picture of it, but since you're so smart and reading my blog, I think you can figure it out. ;)

Step Ten:

          Since everything has been secured, you can now go around and cut off the excess scarf. Cut it as close as you can get to the knot. Now, hot glue over the knot and the hole for more security. Maybe it's obsessive, but rather be safe than sorry. 

Step Eleven: 

          Repeat to the other flip flop and enjoy! You'll have the cutest sandals and everyone will be jealous. Little will they know that you made them and they cost less than lunch. :)
