And again this is not my article, this is another reconstructing technique I saw and decided to share, I think this would be cool for my Nigerian girls. If u wana wear something ur friend isn't. so read on and enjoy!!!
Thanks To MAKE IT & LOVE IT.
Summer is great. And warm.
And full of outdoor activities and trips to the pool and random walks around the neighborhood.
I love it.
And my shoe of choice for these warmer months?? Sandals, of course. However, I have big feet. Big, as in, a size 12. (Boo.) So
it’s hard to find variety. Or colors that I want. And if I do find my
“special” size……they’re usually expensive. (Boo again.)
So, I saw a tutorial for this flip-flop makeover (great work Mother Huddle),
floating around the web…….and the wheels started turning. And then
turning some more. And now I have about 3 or 4 new ideas I am working
on. And I can’t wait to share. And all are made from cheapy Old Navy
flip-flops. Fantastic.
I decided to just string all of the ideas
together and create a whole series. Just for fun. And who
knows……maybe some of you have big feet like me. Or just want to make
some inexpensive little creations of your own. They’re perfect for some
summer fun. Old Navy has about 50 different colors of flip-flops to
choose from. Which is perfect for this series.
First up?
A quick and easy flip flop…….made with some braided knit fabric scraps, using the 5 strand braiding technique, shown here.
These soft braided straps streeeeeetch the perfect amount, right around the back of my heel……..keeping the flip-flop snug and in place.
