Decorated Flip Flops

This free crafts for kids idea is decorated flip-flops have been around for just about as long as flip-flops have. I remember decorating them when I was a little girl. They are so much fun to wear and show off.

Kids love to use their imagination when it comes to crafts. Let them just get as wild as they want. You would be suprised at what they can come up with. The great thing about this craft is that it doesn't cost very much. Flip flops are very cheap and they can use things from your craft supplies to decorate them with.

Items your will need

  • glue gun
  • flip flops
  • artificial flowers
  • plastic bird or item of your choice

Have your child arrange the flowers on the flip-flops in the design they want. After they have designed them the way they want them, lift each flower one at a time and squeeze hot glue onto the flip-flop and replace the flower. Lift the next flower and repeat the process.

Now they can attach the plastic decoration that they have chosen for the center. They can use any kind of bird or small figurine that they like. A butterfly looks great in the center.

Boys like something a little more masculine. They can use rick rack and then apply small animals like frogs or soldiers. Brown flip-flops with a tan rick rack looks really nice and the boys love them.

Kids can design them to match their school colors or favorite sports team. They can give them as teacher gifts or birthday presents. The next time they are invited to a birthday party why not have them make a pair of flip flops for their present.

There are so many free crafts for kids ideas that all you have to do is let your mind run wild and the possibilities are endless.
