    How to prepare ingredients?

    To do their DIY, we needed a rubber sheet that was quite tall in thickness, about two millimeters, and it could also be easily folded. Alternatively, you can choose to use a sheet of cork, or you can also weave thin straw as the sole for your Flip-flops. In the second case, you will be able to work well and be skilled in weaving, and at the same time, create a very dense and flat base.

    Trace the contour of flip flops

    Once you have the base you want, draw the shapes, which will be the sole, make the trace from one of your shoes.

    Then you can continue to cut the contours, and then place your bare feet in each shape and, with a pencil, mark the circumference; defines the point that separates the big toe from the index, in both shapes. At those points, both to the right and to the left, make a small hole that will pop out from the opposite side, i.e. the back; Two more holes must be made about four centimeters from the toe of the heel. To make both flip-flops really the same, you can make a slipper first, then you can trace the same holes on the other flip-flop.

    Assembling flip-flops

    To finish, you will need to take two strips of fabric, also for restoration. They should be about three centimeters wide and about the size of your foot. To calculate the bands, simply take two strips of fabric and put them together. Pass them through the small hole at the top and secure them behind the power strip with hot glue. Place the foot by inserting the ribbon between the big toe and forefinger, and slide each into the corresponding hole near the heel; from the hole go through each ribbon, so pull until it's enough to not over-tighten the leg: make sure the ribbon holds it firmly. Finally, fix it behind with hot glue. Decorate your flip-flops when you like.

Attention: do not rub too hard on the surface of the slippers, especially those with decorative accessories such as beads, buckles, etc.
