Product Information

The Perler bead flip flops are perfect to turn into key chains and they would make cute cupcake toppers too. There will be “slack” using a wider ribbon, that will not show up as much or if at all as compared with a smaller-width ribbon. Push your needle back through the middle of the flip flop strap, and from the underside pass the needle through the very tip of each loop of pearls to create a small tacking stitch. Buttons and/or other smaller embellishments such as earrings, pendants, nail decorations or other “bling” such as glue-on jewels, etc. Next, hide the knot of the string to start sewing by going under and through two ribbons that are set on top of each other.

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. Continue to wrap the ribbon around the other side of the strap until you get to the bottom, where you cut the ribbon and glue it down to the inside. You are liable for the deterioration in the value of the goods due to handling other than what is necessary to determine the nature, properties and function of the goods.

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). Once your design is filled turn your iron onto the appropriate setting and iron the beads into place, making sure to use a protective sheet on top to keep from ruining your iron. 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).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. 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.

I tried regular sewing machine thread at first, only to be extremely disappointed in it as it snapped more times that I could remember. Next, use your strong glue and individual beads to fill in any very obviously empty places along the edge of your shoes. Let’s just say that I figured out that Instructables needed an ‘Embellish your own Flip Flops’ set of instructions, and I just so happened to be making a pair of embellished flip flops! My daughter bought gray flip flops, silver ribbon and her beads were all pearls in different sizes of muted pastels. 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.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 it turns out it isn’t my size :) In spite of that, I decided that it was imperative that I wear these suckers around for at least one full day so I could honestly say if they are “wearable” or not. Tie off your cotton as you did before, and secure by partially passing through the strap and bringing back out on the underside. I suggest letting the glue from the buttons dry at least a half-hour before starting to sew the beads onto it.

Thread another 5 pearls onto the cotton, and pass back through the silver bead to make another loop. I thought this would be a fun little project for my daughter, step daugher and myself to do together. Spear a bead through its hole, and sew the thread through the ribbon again, pulling the bead flush with the ribbon. Just remember to take care of the glue sandwiched in between the 2 layers of your sole so you don’t make a big mess. Scroll the brand’s hats, sunglasses and sandals – perfect for pairing with a printed bikini for that ultimate holiday feel.When making the second shoe of your pair, reference the first to ensure they match like, you know, a pair. You may find that you need to make one side of your loops slightly smaller by only threading 1 crystal, 1 silver, and 1 crystal before joining together with the other thread.
