    found info about making these and I varied it a tad but made 2 pair and love them
    You remove the straps on flip flops and add fabrics straps comfy and easy

    How do you do it? Inquiring minds that dislike plastic on the top of flip flops would love to know!!

    So cute! I paid $12 for a pair like this at Penneys. Here's a link I found with directions to making a pair.

    I used this but sewed the fabric into tubes so no raw edges

    Great idea! Love it
    Here in Australia we call them thongs. (imagine our horror when "thongs" became underwear!!)

    Heather, I'm "old", so we called them thongs when I was growing up. They weren't nearly as much a part of our wardrobe as they are now. That's all anyone wears now, lol.

    Thongs yes I remember when thongs were something you put on your foot not an undergarment. You must know what pedal pushers are too. Lol
