How to use your Big Shot, a Bigz Die and Craft Foam to embellish Flip Flops
These are OH SO EASY to make and customisable for any color scheme and occasion…imagine the possibilities…Easter, July 4th, Birthdays, Family Events, Halloween, Christmas…and you can use all sorts of dies…flowers, butterflies, birds…be creative :-)
This would be a fun and very affordable project to make with kids during the summer vacation or as a craft activity for a girls birthday party or sleepover especially when you can find great quality flip flops so cheapily this time of year for around $2-3 a pair in stores such as Old Navy or Walmart. You could also make them for fun party favors for family events and birthdays this summer…how unique would that be? Your guests would love them…
So just how do you embellish your own flip flops? Easily and as follows…simply take a pair of Flip Flops, purchase some foam sheets from any craft or big box store, get out your Big Shot and a Bigz Die, Brads or Buttons, Glue Dots and a Hot Glue Gun…
Run your foam through the Big Shot using the Bigz Die of your choice – I used Flower Daisies #2 – the Island Floral Bigz Die would work beautifully too and you can see an example I made using that Die at the end of this tutorial.
Assemble your flowers using Glue Dots and add a brad or button of your choice to the center – then use a hot glue gun to adhere this to your flip flop and repeat…and there you have some very cute flip flops that are very unique and individual.
Below are flip flops that I embellished using the Island Floral Bigz Die…
And here are the daisies again, except in a different color configuration which gives a different look…
And here are some that I created for July 4th which is just around the corner…flip flops are so easy to find everywhere for great prices during the summer…splash out and embellish a bunch :-)
* I found a stack of 50 foam sheets in a rainbow of colors at Walmart for just $5 – this stack gave me sheets of foam to use for months to come and is a great deal…
