Are you the crafty type? Do you always like to make something from scratch? I have to admit what appeals the most to me about a cool DIY is how unique the item turns out in the end.
So, listen up! I’ve got an adorable idea for you that’s perfect for summer. Get your creative juices going, and let’s go!
What if I told you that people are turning their old flip flops into the cutest crochet slippers?
How about that? Isn’t that the most adorable idea you’ve ever heard of? I have to admit I would never have thought of doing that.
So how are they doing this, you ask?
Well, it all starts with an old pair of flip flops. First, cut off the strap that holds your feet in and hang onto the rubber sole.
Then, you can use a template like this one.
The Etsy store MakeAndDoCrew has one so you will know where exactly you need to place the holes. You will use these holes to crochet your way through the base.
Are you with me so far?
Now you will crochet all around the base of the flip flop. If you’re already lost, don’t worry about it. MakeAndDoCrew’s crochet pattern is available on Etsy for you to purchase to get through this project.
See what I mean?
This pattern will come with easy to follow instructions so you can take your time working on your masterpiece. All you will require to accomplish this task is one ball of Lion Brand 24/7 cotton and, of course, the flip flops.
When you follow the pattern and the instructions, you will be able to make yourself these adorable slippers, too.
The step-by-step tutorial will teach you how to make these slippers even if you’re new to crochet. I would definitely need all the help I could get, hee, hee.
Once finished, these slippers will look so cute and adorable.
I think you’ll be the envy of all your friends. What do you think? I mean, who wouldn’t want to brag that they made themselves crochet slippers like these, huh?
Oh my goodness, is it just me, or are you as obsessed with these, too?
I can’t get over how good and professional these look. I could swear that somebody bought them in a store. I would never have guessed these were DIY’ed.
So what do you think of this creative DIY project?
Would you attempt to make something like this? I have to admit I’m a little bit intimidated by all the crochet involved. However, what do I have to lose? Am I right?
