Flip Flops: Take 2

So a year ago I attempted to make Caroline a pair of pretty flip flops.  The year before she fell in love with a pair that I bought for her in Florida (I paid $25 for them!), so I decided to try and make some for her since she outgrew her first pair.  They came out alright, but they didn't last as long as the pair I bought for her.  So This past week I decided to give it another try.  This time I did some things different, and now only time will tell if these last longer than the last pair I made for her!

Supplies

Ribbon colors to match her Daddy's work dress.

 

The first thing I did was use flip flop glue to glue on the gems.  I may have went overboard on the clothes pins, but I wanted to be sure that it would stick!

Ribbon on dowels ready to be baked.

Pretty ribbon!

The bows I made.  Two are for flip flops and the third is for a hair bow.  I think I did pretty good for my first time ever making bows!

The first part ready (24 hours later)

The bows completed after adding the button for a finishing touch!

I think they came out pretty good!

Caroline sure does look cute in her Daddy's work dress with matching bow and flip flops.

Her bow!

Ta Da!

I had a lot of fun making these.  I can't wait to see her dressed up in her outfit when we pick daddy up in a month!
