We are a flip flop family. We would all wear flip flops all year if we could. But we live in the Pacific Northwest and it’s cold and rainy and that just wouldn’t be a good thing. So when the sun shines (or the rain stops, whichever comes first) all of us shed our shoes and put on the flip flops. But, like everything in our house, we can’t just have one pair. Heck, my kids wouldn’t know what to do without choices =o) So we have lots and lots of different color and style flip flops. They are so cheap nowadays it’s not that hard on the budget.
So when I saw these adorable flip flops I just had to make them for my daughter. They were so easy to make! And super cheap! I bought the flip flops and the balloons at the Dollar Tree. That means these cute things only cost me $2 to make. How cool is that?!?! And we even have leftover balloons for a water fight =o)
I just tied balloons all along the straps.
You can push them together to make them packed as tight as you would like. You can also use whatever colors you would like. I bought some blue flip flops for me and am going to use white and red balloons. How cute would that be?! My daughter asked for a purple pair of flip flops with pink and white balloons too. (All her friends have also put in their requests!)
So here’s to summer and flip flops!!!
This is so cute! I so have to show this to my kids when they get up!
So cute! We are going to make some! Thanks

Love them! Living in Florida I really do live in flip flops and will be using this idea to dress some of them up!
I love these, Erin! I just may have to make a pair for myself. You turned something ordinary into something very special. And on a budget too!!!!
