Product Information

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. Trying to figure out ways I could update the soles I thought it would be pretty darn cool to cover them with Perler or Hama beads.

But as I ironed to join my first shoe sole made of nothing but beads I realized something… this is not going to be thick or strong enough to hold the thong straps. I just used Tacky Glue from Joann’s and didn’t sew them; it worked but it took longer because I had to sit there and hold them until they dried. Bring the needle back through the strap at virtually the same spot, and repeat the above steps until you have another loop. When you use the glittered beads in your normal projects, you don't really notice the actual flecks of glitter once ironed and fused together - unless they are placed right on the edge of your pattern. 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.

This step by step tutorial will show you how to take a plain pair of flip flops from boring to bling in no time at all. This is kind of the same way, but the Perler beads aren’t even quite a textured as those Crocs were, so that’s a win in my book.

My daughter gave up after one shoe then tried to hot glue the beads on the other shoe which didn’t turn out for her that well. This means that if you cancel the purchase, you will get a smaller part or none of the purchase amount back. Next, use your strong glue and individual beads to fill in any very obviously empty places along the edge of your shoes. Tie a couple of knots and partially pass your needle through the flip flop strap and back out again on the under-side (don’t bring it all the way through to the top side). Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.

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. These fun beaded designs are just a little bit smaller than my palm and make really ideal embellishments for cards and papercrafts.

My daughter bought gray flip flops, silver ribbon and her beads were all pearls in different sizes of muted pastels. Add your beads one at a time sewing them on, (I put a small drop of hot glue under all of the large and medium sized beads as well as the seashells before sewing them). This is a fun summer crafting project and the completed flip flops are the right size for use as your own 3D embellishments for handmade greeting cards, scrapbook projects, decorations, party favors and more.

I joined a “flip-flop-swap” on-line this summer and again looked to my favorite sites (including this one) for inspiration. The first shoe took me about three-and-a-half to four hours to complete because I was trying to get the hang of it. The photos for the pink flip flops show what it would look like to use a 1-1/2 inch wide ribbon, where the grey flip flops show what it would be like to use a 1/2-inch wide ribbon. 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. Take your ribbon again and wrap it around and back and forth across the center "V" of your flip-flops to fill in.

Since I didn’t sew them I don’t plan on wearing them everywhere, but whenever I do I get tons of compliments! com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US. The options of the three beads (including the different shell colors) worked great for me and I like the variety.

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. Having a set of beads where all the shades already work well together takes some of the guesswork out of combining colors if that is something you're not confident with in crafting. Tie a double knot in the end, and bring the needle up from the under-side of the flip flop strap, as close to the middle as you can. I thought this would be a fun little project for my daughter, step daugher and myself to do together. 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?
