Couldn't Be Easier Flip Flop Refash





I have been waiting way too long to jazz up these flip flops.  I picked these up at Target when they had a coupon for $2 off Women's sandals.  Do you see that price tag?  That means I got them for a whopping 5 cents!!!  

I'm a Teva girl, and didn't need a new pair of flip flops, so I picked these up for my 9-year-old step-daughter.  I have to say, it is a shame I didn't get them in my size, because I'd love to wear them now!



I envisioned making some pretty sandals with ribbon and found an adorable ribbon with a pre-made bow and knew I would find the second one somewhere around my house...  Well let's face it, with 2 under 2 in the house, I'm not finding anything soon!

Yesterday, I ran the kids over to the Dollar Store to pick up some things and found these.




How perfect! They also had a metal twist tie on the back, making them very easy to secure. The only thing that made the project take 3 minutes instead of one was making sure they were twisted tight and the ends were tucked to prevent scratching.



I love how they turned out! The only problem I could foresee is that the delicate butterflies might not hold up too well with a 9-year-old but, for $1.50, we can fix them up again! Couldn't be easier!
