Dollar Day Creation~Balloon Flip Flops

This is a cute way to spruce up a boring pair of flip-flops. This is an easy summer craft to make flip flops that pop! These flip flops can also be made at slumber parties, luau, beach themed birthday parties or anytime you'd like a cheap easy craft to keep kids entertained. These would make awesome party favors.

Need:
Flip flops ~ Dollar Tree
Water Balloons (about 200 per pair)
(It does take about 1 hr to complete so not good to make with the wee little ones)

How To:
Double tie knots onto sandal. If you are doing a pattern it would be best to start at the sides of the flip flop and work your way to the toe. Keep tying balloons on the flip- flop until you achieve the effect you want.

    I make flip flops just like this one here in Brazil, but our ballons aren't quite as colorful. Where did you buy it?
    Thanks! =)

  8. Fiz esses chinelinhos ha mais de 20 anos atras, e vendia nos shoppings centers do BRAZIL, em São José dos Campos, SP.
    Foi um sucesso, também criei as florzinhas para cabelo, feito numa angolinha plástica e amarrada as chuchinhas de elásticos ou de paninhos com elásticos, ficavam floridas perfeitas e muito charmosas!!!

    Fico feliz em saber que essa idéia ainda perpetua e em outros países, naquela época nem tínhamos acesso a internet!!

    Aproveitem a dica e farão sucesso com as crianças e lojistas!!
