Lace Sandal Upcycle

It's definitely spring here, and almost flip-flop weather! I recently picked up a pair of Speedo flip-flops from Ross. The top is memory-foam, which makes them oh so comfy for walking in. When my family was at Disneyland last year, the sandals I had brought had ruined my feet after the first day (and since we were there for 3 days, this was pretty bad!), and so after dealing with it for two days, I finally asked my sister if I could borrow her Nike flip-flops with the memory foam. They were a size too small, but I'm sure they saved my feet that day! I'd been hunting for a pair of my own ever since, and so I was happy to find these! Only I wished they were a bit "prettier," so I came up with this:


They made up in about five minutes, and I'm really happy with the result! Now...on to the tutorial!



You'll need:
A pair of flip-flops (or strappy sandals)
Lace or ribbon trim
Hot Glue
Scissors



How To



1. First, hold your trim against the straps to measure how much you need, then cut. Do one side at a time in a "V" shape.




2. Using your glue gun, glue the trim to each side, starting at the center. Make sure to align the edges at the center so they match up!




3. Trim off any extra lace, and you're finished! Now you're ready to slip on your new sandals and wear them all the time!


Let me know if you decide to try this! I'd love to see what you come up with!
