Crocheted flip flops?

[lunalibre]

Has anyone here made those crocheted flip flops? I found a video that showed how to do it, and while I can see the stitches used, I still don't understand how the yarn actually gets attached to the flip flop. Can you tell I don't crochet?

I'd like to figure out how to do this in order to make a pair of fluffy flipflops for my daughter for her birthday next week. The "tie strips of cloth" method is certainly easy, but I like the fluffy/fuzzy look you can get with the yarn.

Thanks!

You skip the first row of crochet (the chaining). Where you would normally go under a stitch and pick up yarn, you just go under the band of the flip flop and pick up yarn (the work is on top of the flip flop band)

If that is still confusing you can just wrap it around a lot I guess

I haven't crocheted on a flip flop but I have been crocheting for almost 20 years and have crocheted over lots of other things

Are these in style now? Maybe I'll make a pair for DD--my mom taught me to crochet when I was 9.
Here's a link with photos that look helpful.

Oh, thanks! These pictures help a lot. I watched this video, and since it's supposed to be "crafts for kids" I figured I could do it:

The video is good and it's exactly the style of flipflop I want to make for my daughter, but that fuzzy yarn makes it hard to see what she's doing. I think maybe it's eyelash yarn? Anyway, the pictures you sent made it easier for me to understand what to try.

I'm open to any other suggestions!!!
