Tutorial: 15-minute fabric strap flip flops

My daughter’s footwear of choice this summer is flip flops. She can’t get enough of them. If it were up to her, she’d wear them everywhere. About A Mom shows how you can make over a basic pair of flip flops by replacing the tacky plastic straps with fabric ones. Much nicer! You can do it with just strips of fabric and knots, no sewing required. (Though if you wanted to, you could sew those strips into tubes so no raw edges will show.) And it’s a quick project – she says it can be done in just 15 minutes. Go to About A Mom for the tute.
