I love how girly this is!<\/p>\n<p>I paid less than $5 for the supplies. I bought the flip flops at the craft store for $1.99. You can also use any flip flops you have lying around that could use a facelift. I paid $2 for 1\/3 yard of knit fabric, and I already had the pinking shears. So $3.99 was all it cost. What a sweet deal!<\/p>\n<p>If I made another pair, I&#8217;d pick navy and white jersey knit and put them on red flip flops. How nautical and cute would that be with your favorite t-shirt and cropped jeans?!\u00a0You could do this for a birthday party craft if you have a beach theme or a nautical theme.<\/p>\n<h2>Easy Embellished Flip Flops<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-31188 size-full\" title=\"Easy Embellished Flip Flops for Under $5 - Supplies\" src=\"\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2016\/06\/easy-embellished-flip-flops-supplies.jpg\" alt=\"Easy Embellished Flip Flops for Under $5 - Supplies\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2016\/06\/easy-embellished-flip-flops-supplies.jpg 500w, https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2016\/06\/easy-embellished-flip-flops-supplies-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Supplies Needed<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1 pair of flip flops (I got these at the craft store for $1.99)<\/li>\n<li>1\/3 yard of stretchy knit fabric<\/li>\n<li>pinking shears or scissors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Instructions<\/h3>\n<p><strong>1. Cut the length of the fabric<\/strong> to form a long strip 6 inches wide. You&#8217;re essentially cutting the fabric in half.<\/p>\n<p>I use pinking shears because I like the way it makes the edges a little more fancy. You can definitely use regular scissors for this if you&#8217;d rather have a nice, neat straight edge on your ruffles.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-31183 size-full\" title=\"Easy Embellished Flip Flops for Under $5 - Step 1\" src=\"\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2016\/06\/easy-embellished-flip-flops-process-1.jpg\" alt=\"Easy Embellished Flip Flops for Under $5 - Step 1\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2016\/06\/easy-embellished-flip-flops-process-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2016\/06\/easy-embellished-flip-flops-process-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>2.

Tie a double overhand knot (yes, that&#8217;s a normal knot) securing a strip to the strap on the flip flop.<\/strong> You&#8217;ll want the knot to rest on the outside of the strap.
