Just because school is back in session, doesn't mean that summer is over. Add this wreath to your end-of-summer to-do list, and pull it out for a summer fiesta when the winter blahs hit!
Flip flops are a summertime essential and they come in so many colors and patterns. We used flip flops we purchased at the dollar store to make this colorful and fun wreath perfect for summertime! Thanks to my cousin Kimberly for the idea and materials and my mother-in-law Bonnie for her creative talent and time!
Materials (makes 2 wreaths):
- Flip flops in different colors and patterns; we used 6 different solid colors
- Hot glue gun or E-6000 adhesive
- Something for the decoration on top; we used raffia and a seashell bikini top, which we painted yellow, from the dollar store
What to do:
1. Remove the flip flops from the plastic hangers they came on. Save two of the hangers for later use.
2. Separate and sort the flip flops into right and left feet. You will use right feet for one wreath and left feet for the other.
3. Arrange the flip flops in a circle shape, and glue them together to form the wreath.
4. Glue a plastic hanger to the back for hanging each wreath.
5. We used a string of raffia to tie the shell to the top, covering the hanger.
6. Then we tied a raffia bow using the string around the shell to hold it in place. Glue the bow in place if it doesn’t stay straight on the shell.
