I couple months back I found some flip flops in a clearance bin at Michaels for less than $2. I got everyone in my house a pair, but when I was looking for my two year old daughter I could only find navy blue ones in her size. I thought to myself; "I'll get them anyway, I can make them girly somehow!". Here is what I came up with; I used some ribbon I had on hand (Martha Stewart, woven ombre), six yards total, about three yards per small flip-flop, scissors and hot glue.
I put a dot of glue on the inside part of the strap and started there. I began wrapping on one side and worked my way around making sure I was overlapping the ribbon, so the plastic strap would not show. When I got to the middle, I stopped to wrap the prong that goes between the toes. I had to wrap it twice, once on the way down and on the way back up to the other side of the strap. With the bit of ribbon that I had left over, I made a tiny bow for each flip-flop which I glued on with a dab of hot glue. Very simple, but cute. My daughter sure liked them!
