Are your slippers too plain and boring? Are they dim and colorless? There are wonderful ways to bring them to life with the following decorations. Your flip flops will be fabulous in no time!

Steps

Method 1 of 7: Decorate your flip flops with flowers

  1. 1 Get some new flip flops. If you don't have any, wash the ones that are in very good condition. Your flip flops must be perfect, otherwise no amount of jewelry will help them.
  2. 2 Choose the right flowers. Artificial flowers can be made from cotton, silk, scraps, plastic, etc. You can make your own or buy them ready-made.
    • Don't forget about color combinations on flip flops. Or choose colors that work well.
    • Artificial flowers can be purchased at craft stores, flower shops, gift shops, online, and so on.
  3. 3 Think about where to place the flowers. Usually they are glued in the middle, at the junction of two harnesses - this is the ideal position, so the widest part and your legs appear in all their glory. Larger flowers are best placed here, but you can also glue smaller flowers here for a great floral arrangement.
  4. 4 Use craft glue or fabric glue to attach the flowers. If the flowers have bendable stems, they can be wrapped around the harnesses, but before doing this, check to see if it will be comfortable.
    • Be sure to test the glue for strength before you apply a large number of flowers. If they do not hold well, then it is better to choose a different glue.
  5. 5 Let dry. Now your flip flops look bright and original.

Method 2 of 7: Decorate your flip flops with buttons

  1. 1 Take good quality new or clean flip flops.
  2. 2 Choose the buttons you use to decorate your flip flops. Choose buttons in colors that match or complement the flip flops. You can glue large buttons in the middle of the flip-flops at the junction of the straps, and place small ones on the straps.
  3. 3 Glue the buttons. Place the large buttons in the middle and the small ones over the straps of the flip flops.
  4. 4 Let dry before putting on.
    • Do not forget to leave spare buttons in case you lose the ones you pasted on, and this will definitely happen!

Method 3 of 7: Decorate your flip flops with ribbons

  1. 1 Take good quality new or clean flip flops.
  2. 2 Think about how you will decorate the flip flops. You can attach ribbons to flip flops in many different ways. Here are just a few tips for inspiration:
    • Wrap the tape all the way around the straps.
    • Wrap two-tone tape around the straps.
    • Decorate with bows, flowers and ribbon roses.
    • Decorate with ribbon butterflies.
    • Wrap the straps with white or creamy silk or satin ribbons and form a "V" in the middle where you can embroider or sew pearls. Perfect for a wedding.
  3. 3 Think about where you will place the ribbons. The placement of the ribbons will depend on the way or combination of ways you choose to decorate your flip flops. You can sketch the designs of the flip flops and add details to them if you have new ideas.
  4. 4 Glue the tape to the flip flops. Attach small ribbon decorations to the straps, and in the place where the straps meet, place larger decorations, for example, butterflies or ribbon bows.
  5. 5 Let dry. Ready.
    • Some tapes may get wet. Keep this in mind when choosing the type of tape.

Method 4 of 7: Decorate your flip flops with faux pearls

You can decorate the flip flops with any artificial beads or beads.


  1. 1 Take good quality new or clean flip flops.
  2. 2 Choose the right size for your imitation pearl beads. Large ones are suitable for the part of the straps where they meet in the middle, small ones can be used to decorate the straps along the entire length.
  3. 3 Consider a flip flop design with imitation pearl beads. Consider covering the straps completely, it will be very effective and beautiful. If flip flops are for a wedding or special occasion, this is the only way to add fake pearls or similar beads.
    • Place large beads in the middle of the flip flops. Place the smaller beads around the center beads so you have the smallest beads towards the end of the straps.
  4. 4 Glue the beads. Use glue that works for both beads and flip flops. Dry well.
  5. 5 Consider securing the beads. If you want these pieces to last longer, cover them with a craft sealant. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
  6. 6 Ready. Now your new flip flops will dazzle with their glitz and glamor.

Method 5 of 7: Decorate your flip flops with pom poms

This option is especially interesting for children, they can be made from homemade pom-poms or purchased in stores "all for a dollar."


  1. 1 Take good quality new or clean flip flops.
  2. 2 Choose pom-poms. Think about whether you want them to be the same or different colors? Make a decision before choosing pom poms.
  3. 3 Choose size and color. Do you want the pom-poms to be the same size or a mix of large and small? Place the large ones in the center of the straps, and the small ones along the straps from large to smaller.
  4. 4 Glue on the pom-poms. Stick to the planned arrangement of colors and sizes.
  5. 5 Ready. Let dry completely before dressing.

Method 6 of 7: Decorate your flip flops with tulle

This method is very easy, like decorating with pom-poms, and again, it is more suitable for children.


  1. 1 Take good quality new or clean flip flops.
  2. 2 Choose a tulle fabric or ribbon. Choose a color that matches your flip flops and that you like.
    • You can mix and match colors. For example, three colors: blue, red and white can be perfect as national colors in different countries, etc.
    • You can also use other lightweight fabrics or ribbons instead of tulle.
  3. 3 Cut the tulle fabric into strips. Each strip must be the same length. The straps should be long enough that you can wrap them around the entire strap and at the same time not make them tight. You will not be able to fit correctly too short, too long will simply be superfluous.
  4. 4 Wrap the ribbon around the entire strap. Start in the center and continue wrapping to the desired length.
    • Wrap the strips close together along their entire length, leaving no gaps.
  5. 5 Fluff up the tied stripes. Give them an airy look.
    • Note that they will settle when they get wet, but rise quickly once they dry.

Method 7 of 7: Decorate your flip flops with balloons

It's so easy that even kids can do it while getting bored on vacation!

  1. 1 Use new or clean, good quality flip flops.
  2. 2 Tie whole balls around the straps of your flip flops. Use all the colors of the rainbow to make them look fun.
    • Tie them together as tightly as possible without leaving any gaps.
  3. 3 Straighten the balloons.
