Flip-Flop Greetings Card

Looking through a box of cards I found one I designed in 2006 and thought it would make an easy tutorial.

First make a cardboard template. To do this just print out the pattern (attachment at the bottom of this post) and glue the sheet of paper to cardboard. When the glue is dry cut-out the sole and thong template.

The flip-flops are made from craft fun-foam, this comes in lots of colours.

The flip-flop's thong can be made from either ribbon or fun foam for the latter use the pattern.

Place your template on the foam and draw round it, mark the position of the holes. Cut out the sole. Make holes, where marked, with scissors.

The pattern for the thong is extra long so it can be adjusted and positioned to look like a real flip-flop. Excess thong can be cut-off once it is pushed through the holes in the sole.To secure and hold down the ends of the thong I used Sellotape on the underside of the sole

Decorate the flip-flop with flowers, sequins, bows, jewels etc. Glue in place with PVA.

I used sand coloured paper for the background on the card.

I used sticky foam pads to attached the flip-flops to the card.

One flip-flop or two? The choice is yours.
