Does any one have instructions on how to make swarovski encrusted flip flops?

Answer 1

Hi !!!

My name is Vanessa and I live in Brasil. Here flip flops are fashion for many many years and many people spends the New Year's Eve at the beach, so people customize their flip flops with many different crafts. The day before yesterday,they taught on tv how to make flip flops with swarovsky cristals encrusted. Here is a fashion fever. There are many art crafts programs on tv with steps how to make them.you can print the steps.
I know many brasilian web sites that teach so many great things !! . I watched yesterday a program called " feito por você "- that means " made by you " , and a woman tought how to make it with swarovski cristals encrusted on the flip flops.. It is beautiful. There is even a woman that encrusted flowers made with empty ballons. The step by step instructions of the ballon flowers are in the web site called : www.redemulher.com.br/atelienatv
You enter this site and it is going to be written in black : Trabalhos artesanais. you will find on the left side under this sentence many dates with the steps of many art crafts. so, you go to the bottom of the page , at the right side and click where is written " proximo ".Then click the following ( on the third line ) :
30/12/2006-chinelo com balões
you will find all the instructions how to make flip flops with flower ballons.

the cristals swarovski was yesterday on tv, so it will take a couple of days to be on the web site.

check tomorrow , and the day after tomorrow :

www.redemulher.com.br/feitoporvoce
on the top of the page will be written among other words : "Artesanato". then you wiil click on it and you will find the dates. when you see : 2/2/2007- chinelos indianos, you click on it and you will find the step by step instructions. IT IS ALL FOR FREE.
All you have to do is to ask your computer to translate the Portuguese to English.

I hope I was able to help you !
if you have any doubts, you can contact me. I love art crafts and I don't have anybody to talk to about crafts.I love cristals too !
when I watched the tv program yesterday, I felt like doing this cristals flip flops too.It is so beautiful and here in Brasil is very commom to wear decorated flip flops.
have a lovely day

Basically, figure out a pattern and glue them into place. It's not hard, and there's more than one 'right' way to do it. However, be sure you get a good (strong and flexible and reliable) glue. I'd recommend Crafters' Goop or Amazing Goop or Household Goop (same company.) These are the best glues I've found for gluing hard things onto a flexible surface.

The real question I'd ask, however, is WHY on earth you'd want to! I guess if you wanted formal flip-flops for some reason, this might be a good idea.....

Do you have any idea how much that would cost? Swavorski crystals are EXPENSIVE.
