flips flops using quilting fabrics
1 Attachment(s)
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!!
|
Instructions or link please!!
|
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 |
Very pretty, they look so comfy in fabric!
|
Great idea! Love it
Here in Australia we call them thongs. (imagine our horror when "thongs" became underwear!!) |
Awe, too cute!
|
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.

Comfy and easy and so pretty. You could have them match an outfit.
|
Love them had to share on facebook. Thanks a bunch for sharing.
|
Thanks for the link!

I'd seen these awhile back, forgotten about them. I, too, remember them as thongs & yes, I do remember peddle pushers!

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

Great idea.. I may have to try it. I really hate anything between my toes .. It hurts! .. This may work though.
And yes I remember , thongs , and pedal pushers. |

Thanks for the link. All the GDs live in flip flops (called them thongs in my day too). May have to try this one or better yet since school is almost out may have them do their own. At least the younger ones. Three of them are all grown-up.

By the way the "flip flops" with the fabric look so much more comfortable....I can't wear the flip flops with the plastic it hurts the toes. |
Great idea! I'm going to make one since I can't wear the ones with the plastic thong part.
|
What a cute idea. Thanks for sharing.
|
I don't wear flip-flops, don't even own a pair. But, I call my daughter the 'Flip-flop Queen', she wears them all the time. The next time she comes to visit, I will make her a pair of these.
|
I wish I had saved mine when the dog chewed off the tops of a couple of pair.z

I do! And crop tops too! I used to call those flip flops 'thongs' when our kids were little. Even then they thought I was ridiculous.
|
These are really cute but won't the knots on the bottom pick up a lot of dirt.
|

thanks for this tut |

You could coat the knots with fray-check or clear nail polish, or some such liquid, to make them resist dirt and moisture. I use clear nail polish on the soles of the moccasions I wear for sqaure dancing and they stay much cleaner and wear much longer.
