Yesterday was super busy so I didn't have time to post the flip flop tutorial that I promised. Click here for the original posting with instructions. This was what I would call a semi-fail. I wore the shoes out on the town and man did my feet hurt afterwards. The knots in the bottom are too big and they felt like I was walking with a rock stuck to the bottom of my thin flip flop. Also it was a little stressful cutting up a brand new pair of shoes in the name of crafts and fashions. So here is my version of the Knot so hard flip flop.
The finished product
As you can see in the above photo I didn't use knots like the original tutorial instructed. I tied knots in the fabric over and over and couldn't get them in the right place so I opted for a little band made of scrap fabric and hand sewn on the back side.
The knots on the bottom side were too big and uncomfortable, they are fine for wearing on carpeted floors but hurt on concrete. I think they would be OK for short term wear, like say to church on a casual morning.
And in case your wondering about the fabulous nail polish I'm wearing its Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Heart of Stone. I purchased it at Walmart for I don't remember how much. But its a fantastic color that reminds me of taffy, and two coats is all it takes.
