Water Balloon flip flops


I thought It would be Fun for another Flip Flop Tutorial this week!
Remember my Scrappy Flip Flops Last Week?
 Summer is in full force, and it's time to head to the pool.
 Today I'm going to share with you how to up-do a plain pair of 
little girl flip flops and make them full of summer fun!
 Whats more fun than water balloons? Water balloons on your shoes!!
Here is how you can make these .....
  1. Supplies Needed: Water balloons and flip flops. I found both at Target. Total cost $3.50
  2. You need a total of 5 balloons per group. Stack 4 balloons on top of each other, ends facing opposite direction. 
  3. Time to attach these guys to your shoes. Take your 5th balloon {mine is the yellow balloon in the picture} and use it to tie your stack of 4 balloons to the flip flop. This can be a bit tricky, but after doing it a couple of times, you'll be a pro. If it becomes too tricky to tie with the balloon, you could always use a strong string or something similar.
  4. I tied 4 stacks of balloons to each side, a pinky finger tip width apart. So a total of 80 water balloons per shoe.  There you have it.  A super fun pair of flip flops that just screams summer!
Wait there is one more thing.. You need a matching hair bow to match your shoes, right?!
  1. Remove metal prong from center of clip. Stack your balloons together. 
  2. Tie the sets of balloons to your hair clip just like you did on your flip flops
  3. Re-insert the metal clip. Turn over and make adjustments to even out the balloons as necessary
  4. Tada! Done! Was that quick and easy or what!


Mom said don't run with scissors.... but she did not mention glitter!
