Easy to Make Flip Flops - Craft Project

I saw these being made the other day, I can’t for the life of me remember where, but I do get a lot of my ideas from Play School, so it wouldn’t surprise me if that is where I got the idea from.

Well, the little man wanted to make a pair this afternoon, so we did of course, even if it was in the middle of cooking dinner.

Here is what you need:

2 or 4 Pipe Cleaners (depends how big the foot that you are making it for is.)
Cardboard
Pen and Crayon

Here is what you need to do to put it all together.

- First thing that you need is the cardboard, I got out some quiches from the freezer that we were having for dinner, and the box was perfect, just what we needed to make a pair of flip flops.

- Draw around the foot on the cardboard, cut around the shape about a centimetre bigger than the foot.

- Punch a hole with your pen, between the big toes and one on each side about half way down the foot shape.  See Picture above.

- Fold the pipe cleaner in half if a small foot or twist the two pipe cleaners together if a bigger foot. Feed the middle of the pipe cleaner through the hole made between the toes, and sticky tape it to the bottom.

- Then feed one piece of pipe cleaner through each side hole and tighten to fit the foot, sticky tape down on the bottom.

- You can colour in how ever you would like, we put spots and squiggles on ours.

Hey Presto you now have a fabulous pair of cardboard flip flops, I don’t think that they will last very long, certainly if you wear them out in the rain. But we made them for a bit of fun, I hope that you do to.
