The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings. Whether you want to admit it or not you probably have at least one pair of flip-flops in your closet. You can turn these mini beaded flip flops into bag charms, novelty necklaces, keychains and keyrings, cake and cupcake toppers, party favors, hanging decorations as well as handmade card and scrapbook embellishments.

Handily there is a bucket of Perler beads which is full of cute bright colors as well as the heart-shaped pegboard that you need for this design. These fun beaded designs are just a little bit smaller than my palm and make really ideal embellishments for cards and papercrafts. One thing to note that if you have wide feet (like mine) is that you should try the flip flop on after wrapping the ribbon around both straps, but before the last trim and gluing to ensure that they fit around your foot.Because, apparently, I have gigantic feet that I’d need SIX THOUSAND Perler beads to create soles big enough to rest on top of. This means that if you cancel the purchase, you will get a smaller part or none of the purchase amount back. Trollbeads uses a secure payment server that encrypts all information with SSL protocol, which means your data is secure and cannot be read by outsiders. I learned while doing this that the smaller the ribbon width, the less slack you will have to put on it. Remove your needle, and separate out the strands of cotton so that you have two on each side, and one in the middle.

I hope you enjoy our variety of easy crafts, affordable home DIY projects, tasty recipes, crochet patterns, free SVG cut files and so much more.

Using whatever tool you are most comfortable with, fill the shape of the sole per your paper guide below, following around the edges and leaving a 4×4 bead area clear for each of the thong attachment areas. As I was working on the darn things I actually started to wonder why I always felt my feet were so big. Scroll the brand’s hats, sunglasses and sandals – perfect for pairing with a printed bikini for that ultimate holiday feel. I re-made mine just like you described, I just used my bijou stuff I do no wear anymore for the beads. Thread 2 pearls, 1 silver bead, and 2 pearls onto your cotton working your way down the middle of your crystal bead circle.

I used to have this pair of Crocs flip flops that my mom got me and the soles were super textured and they feel a lot like that.

Pass the needle through to the under side of the flip flop strap and begin to secure each of these loops in place as you did before; you will need to create a series of small tacking stitches around the edge of each loop (I did two on each side), passing your needle under the flip flop strap, over the edge of the beaded loop, and back again. Starting on the lower left-hand side of the first strap, begin by gluing the ribbon to the inside strap as close as you can to the bottom.I used the fused beads to make curved straps for the flip flops but you could use some glass beads or even some ribbon to make your finished pair very different. Push your needle back through the middle of the flip flop strap, and from the underside pass the needle through the very tip of each loop of pearls to create a small tacking stitch. Spear a bead through its hole, and sew the thread through the ribbon again, pulling the bead flush with the ribbon. And thinking I didn’t have enough white Perler beads I purchased a bag of SIX THOUSAND white Perler beads to use for this project. Because I mean, kids will wear some things that are on the edge of comfort if it’s something cool enough looking or something they made, but what if you’re just a Perler bead loving adult?
