[ diy cutie pie flip flops ]

I CAME ACROSS the cutest tutorial for DIY flip flops and i just had to share! These come courtesy of The Mother Huddle blog and take about 30 minutes to complete.

All you need are some cheapo flip flops, about 1/4 yard of fabric, kitchen scissors or xacto knife and if you want to add hot glue you can (although it's not necessary).

Remove the straps by pushing them through the back a little and cut off the chunky ends using your scissors or knife. Cut your fabric into 4 strips measuring 4.5 x 24 inches and cut the tips into a point to make feeding through the hole a little easier.

Pull 2 fabric strips through the toe hole and tie into a tight double knot on the back. The knot will fit into the divet. Cut the ends off.

Flip the flop over and hold both strips together to tie a knot about an inch from the shoe (your toe will go here).

Then tie a tight second knot right above it. Next feed one strip into each back hole and put the flop on your foot and pull the strips so they are tight to the top of your foot. Remove from your foot and tie knots on the back. Try it on again and walk around making sure the fit is snug.

Make sure the knots are tight, cut off the ends and fit them into the divets. Cut off the ends. You can add a dot of hot glue into the hole if you like but it's not required.

All done! For more detailed pics and how-to, go to The Mother Huddle
