How do you fix a boring pair of flip flops to make them adorable?

Reply:you can always hot glue a pretty fake flower to them.


how about beads, buttons, glitter paints? use your imagination!
Reply:My stepdaughter took a plain black pair of cheapos and wrapped a polka dot ribbon around the straps. They turned out really cute. I think she used a glue gun to adhere it.





Another idea would be those little gemstones with the flat side. You might be able to take a plain pair with wide straps and glue them on. I wouldn't recommend doing anything like the Bedazzler though. The grommet on the underside of the strap would probably wear a blister on the top of your foot.
Reply:hot glue gun

flowers


rhinestones


gemstones


ribbons

Reply:Hot glue silk flowers, costume jewels or other items to the straps. Or cut strips of interesting fabric and knot around the straps to make fluffy flip flops.

I saw some of the ones with the fun fur recently at a garage sale and they were darling.
Reply:Try sewing on cloth roses or glueing on glitter or sequins, that will really spark them up. You could also dye them a really cool colour, or have a go at painting the heel bit different colours. Put your creative thinking hat on.
