If your child’s flip-flops are looking a little worn out after a summer of fun in the sun, don’t toss them just yet! You can breathe some new life into an old dingy pair, or even customize a new pair (check your local stores for great sales on summer items happening now) with this simple flip-flop makeover project from Disney’s Family Fun site. If you’re looking for a simple activity to keep kids entertained at an upcoming sleepover or afternoon BBQ, this one is a great choice.
What you’ll need:
• A pair of flip-flops
• Fabric in various colours/patterns
• Scissors
• A ruler
You’ll find the full instructions for these fluffy flip-flops over on the Family Fun site. It’s a great project for older kids to tackle on their own, while younger kids will need some help when it comes to cutting fabric. No time to visit a fabric store? Just repurpose an old shirt instead!
