I think I just started a new name for a new craze. I will be RICH! People will fall all over themselves offering me their abandoned flip flops to remodel for them, paying me mega bucks for the privilege too!
A girl can dream can’t she?
OK, so maybe not the outcome I was looking for, but, practicality and comfort go along way with me. I love the idea of flip flops, and even don’t mind the thingie between the toes, but I do get annoyed very quickly with blisters caused by the plastic straps rubbing on my feet, especially when you get sand underneath them.
So as is my normal routine… I googled: ‘How to stop your feet from getting blisters from flip flops’ and BAM! a nice tutorial popped up on how to swap the plastic straps out for fashionable fabric. Oh crap, this means I didn’t think up the idea first – dammit, so much for being rich.
This post is just a tease for next week though as the actual tutorial will be posted then. I wasn’t 100% happy with how they turned out following the online instructions. What does that mean? Aside from making me seem anal. It means I am making the necessary changes to make MY Flip Flops PERFECT. I just never seem to let things alone as I am a firm believer that tweaking should be mandatory on just about everything. Except mouse traps and hand grenades, those are already perfected.
For now, here is the lame finished project…
Stay Tuned for Perfection Next Week!
I love flip flops too. As far as I’m concerned, they are the shoe of choice. Year round…. Doesn’t matter. I am intrigued by the idea of changing out the straps, and look forward to your perfected version.
I used to wear them all the time, but couldn’t stand the blisters that came with them. If it is easy to do, then I will wait and follow your instructions and remake some for the backyard when the patio stones get too hot 🙂
