Bandana
Take a bandana (in fun colors), tear to strips, and tie strips along the strap of your flip flops. Lindy suggests keeping the strips tight together so that you end up with a fluffy pair.

This DIY flip flop idea is very easy and all sorts of cute. I like that you can use an old shirt to make the straps of these flip flops. Of course, if you have stretchy fabric in your stash, that would work, too.

From the blog: These flip flops are so easy, and so so comfortable. The best part? They only cost me $1.oo. I don't know about you but I think all craft tutorials should start like that.

This flip flop makeover is very cute, too. You will need to make holes or slits on your straps and insert the ribbon through them. The ends of the ribbon are then tied to a bow by the center of the slippers. Super fun and easy to do.

How cute! Basically, to make this DIY flip flop pair, you will use the same steps for customizing the braided slippers above. Instead of making braided straps, though, you will use only strips of the stretchy fabric. You will then add a pretty rosette that matches the rubber flip flops.

Here is another great pair for a bride tying the knot near the sea. The finished product is the top photo of this post. Aren't the flip flops gorgeous? This project looks easy to do, too. If, like me, you have lots of beads, using them to customize a pair of flip flops is a great idea.
