Needed:
1 pair of inexpensive flip-flops
Sticky Glue or Low-melt hot glue gun and glue sticks
40 small flower heads (with flat backs)- using flowers that have florets on tall stalks are usually the most economical
| Glue the flower heads to the sandal straps, using a small amount of glue. If the flower head does not lay flat then trim the calyx (the underside of the flower) slightly. Start in the center of the strap and work toward the outside. Once all the flowers are in place, fill in holes with filler, small greenery, or flower buds. Complete the shoe then repeat on the other shoe. |
