Supplies

Blue or Red flip flops. I purchased mine at the dollar store. You can use sandals, but I think flip flops work better.
Patriotic Ribbon. You can get ribbon at Joann’s & Hobby Lobby frequently on sale. You can use thin or thicker ribbon for a different look. Amazon has some beautiful patriotic ribbon too.
Scissors. Make sure to have a good sharp pair of scissors.
Ruler or measuring tape. This is to measure the ribbon.

Step By Step Instructions

Step 1. Measure and cut your patriotic ribbon 6” in length. You will want to cut 20 pieces of ribbon for each flip flop. Get the kids involved. This is easy for little hands to do.
Step 2. Once all your ribbon is cut, simply start tying each one across the top of the flip flop strap and double knot it.
Step 3. Repeat this step with all the ribbon until the flip flops are full. You can change the look by using less ribbon or more ribbon and let your creativity shine. If you are looking for more inspiration, try other holidays and embellishments such as leather and black ribbon or daisies on the straps.
