Summer is fast upon us....need a cute teacher gift, birthday
gift or maybe just something cute for your own feet?
Well, here ya go....
I love when I can create something really beautiful, quickly
and on a budget! And this project is all
that!
What you need:
- Flip Flops (from big box craft store - $2.99 BEFORE coupon)
- Robin's Nest Dew Drops, Mini Dew Drops, Tear Drops andDiamonds - - any color / any mix
- A good, clear drying, permanent adhesive (I am using E6000 available at your big box craft store)
- Stiff paint brush
- Tweezers
Step 1: Gather all of
the Dew Drops, Mini Dew Drops, Tear
Drops and Diamonds you own, and pour a small amount of each into a bowl -- mix
them up!
Step 2: Apply a small
glob of adhesive to band of flip flop and spread using your stiff paint brush.
Step 3: Apply Dew
Drops selected randomly from your mixed dish and apply to band using tweezers
or fingers (I find it easier to use my fingers - - always have wet wipes handy,
though!)
Designer tip: To get
the effect of sea glass, do not apply your dew drops flat -- push them up against
each other, with some being adhered on their side...it makes a beautiful textured
effect!
Picture this: Your
beautiful sea glass flip flops packaged with a bottle of sunscreen and a beach
towel inside a sand bucket with shovel - - and then add that fabulous sunglasses shaped card Colleen showed us yesterday - summer gift perfection!
Thanks for stopping by today - - hope to see you post and tag Robin's Nest with your own fun flip flops!
