It just so happens that I needed this great idea sooner rather than later. Last week I needed a last minute activity for the youth of my church - just the girls. Our previous plan fell through at the last minute and we needed something now!
Thankfully my brain jumps around a lot, because I remembered these and headed to JoAnn's to get the supplies. It was easy enough - flip flops and fabric. And it was all on sale! These are what I came home with:
There was also some blue and some white flip flops, but I forgot my camera that night because I was in such a hurry, so you get a picture of what was left. ;) sorry! But green is really my favorite!
The Mother Huddle really gives a great tutorial, so I am not going to try to put one together for you - just go check her out, you will not be sorry.
You just get to see awesome pictures of my feet - which are in need of a pedicure.
And here they are in all their glory. the girls loved these, and I loved that they only cost about $3 a pair - excellent for the budget! They really loved the bright colors, and a lot of them said that they too have trouble finding flip flops because of wide feet, as did The Mother huddle.
Now I am thinking how cute would it be to make a pair of these to match a skirt? I know that my girl would go crazy for them!
I am so glad you used these for a youth group! I was thinking they would be perfect for that. I love the colors you used too, I always play it safe with white, but them see others with color and love them :)

ReplyDeletecovering them are probably softer on the between part of your toes, mine always get a blister. I'll have to dig out some old material!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thank you for linking up last week at Sew Woodsy. We hope you'll join us again this week!
