Fabric Flip-Flops… I Tried a Pin
Fabric Flip-Flops are the next addition in my summer series, āI tried a Pinā.Ā Ā Ā If youāre new here I would love to have you follow me on Instagram and Pinterest to keep up with all my latest projects!Ā Ā So during the summer I love to actually try out some of those great pins Iāve been pinning away throughout the year.Ā This one I pinned years ago and I continue to see floating around Pinterest.
Fabric Flip-Flops
Every summer we stock up on flip-flops at Old Navyās $1 flip flop sale.Ā Ā Ā I figured it was the perfect time to try out this great craft project.
You gather your cheap flip flops and 4 pieces of 4.5ā x 24ā fabric strips.
You are going to remove the rubber straps.Ā I used an x-acto knife and carefullyĀ cut them off.
Both ends of the fabric strips need to be cut at an angle forming tips so they can slip through the holes.Ā My fabric was thick, so it was hard tying the knots off so I cut the strip in half down to the flip flop and then tied it off.
The end result was super cute fabric flip flops and they are super comfy!
Another success pin project try!
Hereās the other oneās Iāve tried this summer:
Can you make mozzarella cheese sticks with string cheese?
Does vinegar age stainless steel?
Thanks for stopping by!
OMGoodness! This is such a great idea. I can’t wait to try this but I’m a little confused on how you make the knot. I know this is an old post so if you get this comment, could you let me know? Thanks!
Don’t the knots on the bottom become very uncomfortable to walk on? Otherwise, golly! Are those CUTE!!!
HI Teri ~ The knots pushed into the holes that were in the base of the flip-flop from the plastic strap… so nope, you don’t feel it at all. š
ive got a fun green pair of flipflops lying around with ruined rubber straps… would love to do this on them.. but dont the knots below the flipflops get uncomfortable?
I am wondering the same thing…

I love this and they are so cute!
Awesome project and post. Cute polish on the toes, matches fabric very prettily. At first I thought you wrapped the fabric around the straps, etc. on flip flops. Good job. Much more comfortable also. Sometimes the rubber flip flops can be bit uncomfy between toes especially. Happy days
Those are SUPER cute Maryann! How fun. Thanks for the tutorial.
Make it a great week.
I just attended a wedding and noticed the wedding party lost their heels almost immediately. What a great idea from the bride for her attendants and herself……fancy flipflops to match their gowns
What a cute idea! I have used scraps of fabric tied to the rubber straps and they turned out cute. I just might have to try this idea. My 13 yr old daughter would love this! Thanks for sharing!
