Supplies Needed
- Flip Flops
- Fabric Scrap
- Mod Podge
- Tulle Netting – Turquiose
- Styled by Tori Spelling Large Gold Medallion Pendant
- E-6000
- Hair clip
Part 1: Mod Podge fabric onto flip flop
1. Cut and remove plastic straps from shoe.
2. Apply a generous amount of Mod Podge to shoe.
3. Press fabric scrap onto the shoe, smoothing out bubbles.
4. After it has dried, cut off excess fabric.
5. Seal top and sides with a generous coat of Mod Podge
Part 2: Add the straps to your shoe
1. Use the craft knife to cut the fabric where the holes in the shoe are.
2. Measure the tulle so it is twice the length of the shoe. Cut three pieces of tulle.
3. Wrap the end of the tulle with a piece of washi tape to make a shoestring effect.
4. Push the tulle “shoestring” through the bottom two holes.
5. Cut a fourth piece of tulle and tie it around the center of the tulle loop you just created. Insert the ends in the top hole of the shoe.
Part 3: The finishing touches
1. Now that you have your straps, place the shoe on your foot. Tighten the straps to your liking, then secure with a knot.
3. Place E-6000 on the knot and cut off the excess.
4. Take your pendant and remove the jump ring and back ring.
5. Use E-6000 to glue hair clip on.
6. Clip on to your shoe.
These are so cute!! I love the fabric you used!
They turned out ADORABLE!! I love the tulle and the color.
Super cute. What does the bottom look like though? I’m trying to visualize how to finish off the bottoms of the shoes so there are no bumps? Thanks!
I’ll try to get a picture, but make the knot as tight as possible and pull the tulle so the knot is nestled in the circle where the plastic used to be. Every pair I have made, the flip flop has a large circle cut out where the plastic tab goes. As long as you get the knot in this circle, there will be no lumps on the bottom of the shoe.
