DIY fabric flower decorated flip-flops

1. Don’t worry girls, needles and thread are not necessary. All you need are bits of fun fabric or retired clothing, two pieces of felt cut into circles (about the size of a quarter), scissors and hot glue.

2. Depending on your volume preference, cut eight to ten circles (per flip-flop) from your scrap fabric of choice. The circles should be two to three inches in diameter. Once you’ve cut your circles, pinch the fabric into fourths from the center, much like the cootie catchers you made in grade school. Add a dot of hot glue at the bottom of your fabric and attach to the felt base.

3. One at a time using all but the last two (one per shoe), hot glue your cootie catcher circles onto the felt. Be sure to layer the fabric, like the petals of an actual flower.

4. Take the two circles of fabric you set aside at the beginning to finish off each floret. Bunch/twist it from the center, and hot glue your finishing floret pieces onto the top-center of your flower puffs.

5. Now that your flip-flop florets are made, take a moment to decide how you want to attach them to your sandals. You can hot glue the felt bottom directly to the center of the shoes, or you can attach mini-clothespins or bobby pins to make the florets multifunctional.
