It’s summer.
It’s HOT!
Don’t know where u live, but 107 degrees is ridiculousness...
Best thing 2 do is get a cold drink and hang inside n get out ur duct tape.
What 2 make...Hmmmmm
By now you’ve made duct tape wallets for u and everyone u know. Yep.
You’ve made flowers in every color and even made those itty bitty teenie weenie ones, too. Yep.
Hey! Have you tried making duct tape flip flops yet?
I made some, and they are sooooo comfortable (and cheap!). U should try making a pair (or two or three).
They’re pretty fast-n-easy and u can use stuff you already have around the house. Really all ya need is some cardboard and duct tape. If you wanna get all “designer crazy” after that, it’s up to you. Some of us can’t help ourselves, so the extra bling thing has just gotta be added to the basic duct tape flip flops no matter what.
To get this project started, get out the duct tape and round up some cardboard. If u want them 2 be sturdy, find a cardboard box that’s pretty thick. You can always use several layers of cardboard, too.
Now, get a pair of flip flops u already have, put em on the piece of cardboard and trace the shape. Cut out. Cover one side of both shoe bottoms with duct tape.
Easy so far, huh?
Now it gets tricky. Not. Cut a slit where you want the strap to be taped on. Make 2 long straps of folded over tape (1/2" x 24" each), one for each shoe.
Fold each strap in half & slid it through the slit & tape it down.
Cut a half width of tape; wrap it around the strap.
Tape straps to the bottom & trim. Add a layer of duct tape to the bottom to cover it all up.
Done.
Well, maybe.
If u want, u can keep going and add stuff to decorate ur flip flops. Buttons, jewels, flowers, stickers... Whatever!
If it stays this hot, by the end of the summer, ur probably gonna have a giant pile of duct tape flip flops from stayin indoors out of the sun! As long as the cardboard n duct tape holds out, ur GOOD!
I wanna see what u made, so post some pics!
Keep on tapin’ on! :-)
