buy UR flip flops now

You need to start looking for UR new flip flops in all those cute discount stores. I am talking about Ross, Marshalls and T J Max. You will need to get some supplies from your craft closet.



You can also can do a 4th of July theme with them and don't forget to save a few short curly ribbons, to attached to a safety pin so when you tie up your new red, white and blue shirt you can attach some curly ribbons to the tie. I used a clip to attach to this shirt shown, however, you can use the safety pin idea (attach it once, it washes really good)






Ok on with the flips. Cut your ribbon to about a yard or so, I measure ribbon by running the ribbon from my nose to the end of my arm, to my figure tips. As my best friend says she has a short arm so she adds more ribbon to that measurement.

Next check the ribbon to determine what side is the front. The ribbon I choose doesn't require to any further inspection, this fabulous purple ribbon is 1 1/2 wide, however, I did buy some gold ribbon that was 2 1/2" wide, this width didn't make a good flower for these shoes, so I turned it into a flower for your hair or to fit it on a hat. I like the 1 1/2" wide.

Hold the ribbon facing you, making a mental note of, what would you like to be the top and the bottom of the flower. On the top edge, hold the wire on both ends of the ribbon, start to gather the ribbon towards the center, (NOTE don't let the wire slip past the end of the ribbon, it is impossible to regather the ribbon).
