DIY Fabric-Strap Flip-Flops

Do you like the bargain of cheap flip flops, but hate the plastic straps on them? I know I do! They hurt my toes and will often leave blisters. That's why I got excited when I saw this project on Pinterest. See how much cuter the fabric one is?

This project was super easy. No sewing. Done in about 15 minutes. All you need are:

• 1 pair of cheap flip flops
• 1 rectangular piece of fabric (I used a fat-quarter I had)
• Scissors

Cut off the plastic straps

Cut the fabric lengthwise in a wide strip (I did about 3 inches wide, just eye-balled it). I used 3 strips, 2 for the straps, then cut the 3rd in half for the toe part.

Starting with the shorter piece, fold the fabric in half  width-wise so you do not see the underside of the fabric. Fold in half lengthwise and push through the first hole in the flip flop. (I used the tip of the scissors to push the fabric through). You should end with a loop on top. 

Pull the long piece of fabric through the loop. 

Push the ends through the back two holes on the flip flop

Tie a knot on the back of each hole. I tied one of the back ones first, then slipped it on my foot and made sure the toe strap was at the correct height. The last knot I did while wearing the flip flop, to make sure it was tight enough. 

Cut off the excess fabric at each knot and pull tight on the top side to push the knots flush against the bottom.

Enjoy!
