These DIY flip flops are so easy and they make fun birthday gifts! They could even be party favors that your guests make for themselves. The tutorial is for adult sized flip flops, but you could do it for children’s flip flops too! I made these for my dad. He’s my superhero. That’s why I chose the colors you see in the picture (think Superman or Captain America).
