These are adorable!! Another idea for your next birthday party activity.
Materials:
Cloth ribbon
scissors
Flip flops with foam sides and foam or fabric straps
LOW TEMPERATURE glue gun
1. Choose a trim and cut to length to fit around the outer wall of each sole with a 1/2 inch overlap. Cut separate pieces of trim for the and right side of the foot strap,as well (again the pieces should overlap about 1/2 inch where the ends meet in the center.
2. To attach the trim to the sole,evenly apply a line of hot glue to a 2 inch section of the foam,using the low temperature glue gun tip to quickly spread it to a width that's slightly narrower than the ribbon. Firmly press the end of the trim on the glued portion so that is sticks well,then smooth it toward the unglued section. Continue applying glue and attaching the trim in 2 inch increments until you've fully circled the sole.
3. Use the same method to attach the 2 pieces of strap trim. Allow the glue to dry for at least an hour before your child takes her newly decorated footwear for a walk .
