I am trying to make some for my daughter. You know the ones with fabric on them? I am not really sure how to do it. I looked on youtube and couldnt find anything. I dont want the ones made with yarn. I want them done with fabric. Do I just cut strips and tie em on? If so, how long do I make the strips and how wide??:confused3
Thanks so much for reading!
 
I make these for my dd 6 to wear to cheerleading. Buy some fabric in the colors you want (about 1/2 yard each in 2-3 colors so about 1.5-2 yds total will be more than enough depending on the shoe size of your flip flops) Better to have more than run out. Cut the fabric into strips about 1" wide and 6" long (you do not have to be exact-varied is actually a better end result). I cut my fabric with pinking shears so that the edges don't frey, but it isn't a big deal if you don't. Simply tie each strip around the side of the flop (I do right over left and under, left over right and under). Tie and push it toward the toe, tie the next strip and push toward the toe until the one "arm" of the flop is done, then repeat down the other side. The tighter you pack the arms the more full they will be. Once they are done you can trim the length of the strips if they are too long (you don't want them too long or the kids trip on them). Feel free to PM me if you need more help.
 

Go to the website for family fun:

We made them 2 or 3 years ago for my DD's teachers as an end of the year surprise. Easy instructions and pictures. Hope this helps!
