Hello! I am so happy to be back with another post for you this month. Today’s project is going to focus on some fancy footwear! Sequins are rocking the crafting world right now as far as trends go, and they have always been a part of fashion so I thought it was only appropriate to bring a little sequin fun with this easy DIY project.

Things you’ll need:
Plain Flip flops
Sequins
Hot Glue Gun

Things to do:
1. Lay down a sheet of paper (for easy sequin clean up) and spread your sequins out so it is easier to see sizes and colors as you go.

2. Use your hot glue gun to adhere the sequins alternating colors and sizes as you go. I find it easier to work from the center out.

Now you have taken those boring plain flip flops and turned them into a sparkling sensation that is right on trend for the summer! Share your take on this project in the comments below, and thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy Crafting!
