Take an hour or two and walk through your local craft store. Take a look at all of the beads, ribbons, stencils, stamps, wires, materials, ropes, and other craft materials that are available today. Using your imagination, think about how you could attach various accessories to your flip flops, and how it would look.
Items can be attached using wire, string, or glue. Just be careful that the material you use to attach items doesn’t come undone easily or hurt your foot when you are wearing the flip flops. Inks that are used should be waterproof and permanent. Use super glue, as opposed to regular craft glue when possible, but if super glue isn’t a feasible answer, use a hot glue gun with hot glue gun sticks.
As for the items that you will attach to the flip flops, remember that you are going for a unique look, but at the same time, the flip flops are useless if they are not durable enough to wear.
