Fabric Cuts:
You will need four 11.5 x 61cm
strips. You may be able to get away with less, but at least you’ll have a
lot to work with just in case.
Assembly:
1. Start
by pushing the straps through the back a little and
cutting off the wide part holding them in place. Now you should have a pair of
flip flops sans straps.
2. Cut your fabric strips at the tips into
points (see image).
3. Take two fabric strips and pull the
ends through the hole at the toe.Tie a good and tight double knot on the
underside of the flops and trim.
4. Turn the flop over. Tie one knot
about an inch from the shoe; this is where it will go in between your
toes. Hold both the straps together to tie it.
5. Tie a second knot right behind the
first knot, good and tight.
6. Now pull the two straps through the
side holes like shown.
7. Put the flip flop on and tighten the
strap to where it is tight on the top of your footand then tie a knot on each
side. Take the shoe off and make sure that the knots are tight, try the
shoe on again and make sure it fits. Walk around in it and make sure it is not
too loose. Remember, fabric stretches, so it’s better if it is a little
snug.
8. Turn the flop over and cut off the ends
of the straps.
9. To reinforce the knots a little you
might want to add a little dab of hot glue in the holes.
