Personalized flip flops can be a lot of fun and are a great way to show your style to others without spending a lot of money. These popular summer shoes can be found in many stores at many prices. When you decide to buy yours, you might want to buy a few pairs so you can practice your design or even just to have a couple of your own designer pairs.

While they can be bought made with different materials, it is likely you will find the shoes that have material foot straps are going to being the easiest to work with in this particular case. Once the style and color has been chosen then you just need to think about the materials you will add to you shoe.

Pretty much any lightweight material can be put on the shoe straps or even along the side of the shoes' edges. Most people prefer to add things such as glitter, beads, embroidery or ribbons. Many of these crafting items can be found easily and at low cost in a variety of discount stores or craft stores.

After you have chosen materials, think about what kind of design you want to display on your shoes. Some people simply put various different items on their footwear with no particular pattern in mind, while others have a specific vision in mind once they have finished with their footwear. You might want to sit down and draw out a plan of how you envision the shoes when they are completed.

How you attach the decorations to the shoe is actually really important to consider so you can ensure the stay on the shoe. Often people use either a needle and thread or glue to secure the decorations onto the footwear.

If you decide to use glue to keep your project together, remember to only put a small amount of glue in each spot to help prevent the glue from spilling through the decorations. Once you have finished adding all the pieces that you want make sure to give the glue time to dry before wearing the shoes so the pieces will have time to adhere to the shoe.

A needle and thread are another great way to hold the decorations on that you have chosen. Do take into consideration how much thread you use when you are sewing. Using too much or too little can affect the look of your footwear and also the comfort level of the shoe if you make the tread too thick.

Since the shoes are available in every size then personalized flip flops can be a great project for kids too. However, always be sure to have an adult supervising the project and ensuring that the kids are only doing the parts of the project that are most safe for them to do depending on their age.
