DIY Embellished Flip Flops Tutorial

Take your plain, cheap rubber flip-flops and embellish them yourself with this tutorial from Martha Stewart. It’s super inexpensive and only takes a few minutes.

What You’ll Need:

  • Plain rubber flip-flops
  • Seam binding or regular ribbon in color of your choice (seam binding works best)
  • Scissors
  • Fabri-tac fabric permanent glue (or other brand, but this one is the best)
  • Trim and embellishments

Directions:

  1. Cut about a yard of seam binding, and wrap around one side of the Y-shaped flip-flop strap, starting from the back and working up to the toe. Secure seam binding at beginning and end with glue. Repeat on the other side of the Y.
  2. Glue desired embellishments onto wrapped strap.
  3. Repeat these steps on the second flip-flop.
  4. Allow to fully dry before wearing and show off your new fancy flippies!
