I saw this awesome blog on refashioning flip flops and thought I would give it a try myself. Needless to say I am in LOVE with my "new" flip flops and they only cost $2.50. I used a pair of Old Navy flip flops and one of hubby's old PT shirts that was in the rag pile. Check out the tutorial over at Make It and Love It. I made a couple of changes to mine. Try as I might I could not master the 5 strand braid she used. I used a basic braid. I may make another pair that uses a different braid later on. I also sewed the ends of my straps together and glued them down instead of knotting them. I found this helped them lay flat and allowed me to cover them with hot glue to protect the fabric from getting worn out.
