[b]Flip Flops[b]
Lion Brand® Fun Fur
TIP : Wrap tightly so as not to leave any spaces for the yarn to shift around.
FLIP-FLOPS
With one strand, wrap the Fun Fur around the outside end of the strap of the flip-flop (close to the heel where the strap starts) and tie a knot. NOTE: It is prudent to tie the knot at least three times to keep it from slipping. You may additionally use hot melt glue to secure the yarn, but don't put the glue where it will rub on your feet and be uncomfortable.
Wrap the yarn around and around the strap, pulling it back towards the beginning to make it dense and furry. Continue to the end of the strap.
When you reach the end of the strap, tie another knot to secure the Fun Fur. NOTE: It is prudent to tie the knot at least three times to make sure that it will hold. Secure the knot with a dab of hot melt glue if you wish.
Cut the yarn.
For the second flip flop, make sure to start the yarn on the outside end of the other flip flop in the same color that you started the first so your flip-flops match. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to complete the second flip flop.
Optional Finish your flip-flops by gluing a large button, rhinestone, or beads to the toe.

Designer Flip-flops [
Here's a fun and quick project that will have your kids stepping out in summer's latest foot fashions.
MATERIALS:
Cloth ribbon, fringe, or similar trim
Scissors
Flip-flops with foam soles and foam or fabric straps
Low-temperature glue gun
Time needed: Under 1 Hour
1. Choose a trim and cut a length to fit around the outer wall of each sole with a 1/2-inch overlap. Cut separate pieces of trim for the left and right sides of the foot strap, as well (again, the pieces should overlap 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 onto the glued portion so that it 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.
Variations:
Matching Beach Hat: For a matching summer cap, you can attach trim using a nontoxic fabric glue (we recommend Delta's Stitchless washable fabric glue).

Fluffy Flip-Flops
These adorable slippers make it a cinch to slip into something cute and comfortable.
MATERIALS:
Flip-flops
Fabric
Pinking shears
Time needed: About 1 Hour
1. Select a fabric and use pinking shears to cut a series of 1- by 6-inch strips (the number of strips you'll need depends upon the size of your child's feet; the ones we made required 28 strips).
2. Using single knots, tie the strips around the flip-flop straps, pushing the knots close together as you go.
3. Keep adding pieces until your new slippers are sufficiently soft and swanky!
