The measurements below are approximate and were used on a size adult small flip flop. You’ll be able to get by with less ribbon for smaller size flip flops. I recommend cutting the first strip of ribbon and see how you like the length. We decided to cut ours a bit long, for a real statement.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- 1 pair of flip flops
- 3/8″ wide ribbon cut into 7″ strips
You’ll need approximately 9 yards of ribbon per pair of shoes. I used (3) 3/8 inch x 3 yard spools that I picked up for $1.19 each on sale. It’s important that each strip of ribbon is cut to the same length, so use your ruler. ever Free coloring
Starting at one end of the flip flop strap, tie on a piece of ribbon. You will need to tie a double knot. The double knots should be on the top side of the strap, so that the smooth part of the ribbon will be against the foot. Tie on the next piece of ribbon, pushing it next to the first ribbon. Repeat this process until you have covered the entire strap. That’s it! You might want to fluff and adjust a few of the ribbons, but seriously that’s it – you’re done!
Go through your ribbon stash, and save yourself some money or take advantage of seasonal sales going on right now! I hope you enjoy this simple project as much as us.
