I
love flower embellished flip flops but most often they are on really uncomfortable flip flops. I decided to make my own that I could attach to any of my favorite shoes. They also look adorable on my ballet flats.
Wanna make some for yours? Here is how I made them: Materials: Faux Suede or Mole skin type fabric 1/2 a yard or less
scissors
lighter
pearl
shoe clips (I ordered mine on
Etsy)hot glue gun
needle
thread
felt
Step one: Cut out 4 different sized circles for each flower, and allow for some shrinking so go a bit larger than you want your flower to be. The circles do not have to be perfectly round.
Step two: Singe the edges of each circle with your lighter. Practice on a scrap to get the hang of it. Be careful not to get the fabric too close to the flame.
Step three: Stack your circles on top of each other to form a flower and then attach all together w/ needle and thread and finish w/ a pearl in the center.
Step four: Cut a circle of felt and sew your shoe clip to the felt. Next hot glue the felt to the back side of the flower.
Step five: (optional) for extra security I hand stitched the felt to the back of the flower even though it was glued.
You can make these pretty flowers in all different sizes, I made a few for my purse and also some hair pins. So fun and so
girly! A really easy project but a bit time consuming.
