Fun Summer Craft: Scarf Flip-Flops

After a trip to the thrift store yesterday where treasures (including beads!) abounded, Emily and I were inspired by a few old silk scarves and flip flops to make a pair of fun summer flip flops!
Unfortunately we didn't think to take before and step-by-step pictures, but here are the finished results.  At around 2.50 each to make, they're a steal.  The sandals only took about 30 minutes to make (most of that time involved us trying to figure out how to make them!) and the results will last easily through the summer months.  Plus, they're just so cute!

Emily's used gray flip flops and a shiny metallic scarf.  She chose to wrap hers loosely.

I wrapped mine tighter and used a highly patterned green, blue, and brown scarf.  Big blue buttons to finish them off!

If you want to make some pretty summer sandals of your own, check out the following tutorials we've found for a variety of styles and materials!
