    I don’t know about you, but when I head to the beach or the pool, I always pack a few essentials.

    Sunscreen, naturally, plus some conditioner for my hair so it doesn’t fry or turn green from the chlorine. A big beach towel and something to read. Something to snack on, too, and my insulated stainless Tervis tumbler to keep what I’m sipping ice cold.

    If you want to dress up your own cheap flip flops, you just need a few supplies.

    • flip flops
    • Fabric Fusion Glue

    • Clothespins

    Instructions for DIY Bow Flip Flops

    Step 1 for making DIY Bow Flip Flops: Glue grosgrain ribbon to the straps of the shoe, securing with quick drying tacky glue. Secure with a clothespin and continue wrapping around the strap. #sponsored

    1) Begin by gluing ribbon to the bottom of the plastic strap on one side of the flip flop. Use clothespins to hold the ribbon in place until the quick-drying tacky glue has dried.

    Step 2 for making DIY bow flip flops: Continue wrapping grosgrain ribbon tightly around the strap, over the toe piece and continuing down the other strap. Use clothespins to hold ribbon securely as you work. #sponsored

    2)  Continue wrapping grosgrain ribbon tightly around the strap, over the toe piece and continuing down the other strap. Use clothespins to hold ribbon securely as you work.

    Continue working to the end of the second strap. Trim ribbon and secure to the inside of the shoe strap using quick-drying glue. Use a clothespin to hold it in place until the glue dries.

    3) Continue working to the end of the second strap. Trim ribbon and secure to the inside of the shoe strap using quick-drying glue. Use a clothespin to hold it in place until the glue dries.

    4) While the flip flops dry, assemble the bows. Cut a two equal lengths of ribbon and form two loop, securing the ends with Fabric Fusion Glue. If you’re making a layered bow, repeat with a thinner grosgrain ribbon.

    Step 5 to make DIY bow flip flops: Once the loops have dried, pinch the center into a bowl shape, and apply glue to the pleats. Use a clothespin to hold the bow shape while the glue dries. Repeat with the smaller ribbon. Allow all bows to dry completely. #sponsored

    5) Once the loops have dried, pinch the center into a bow shape, and apply glue to the pleats. Use a clothespin to hold the bow shape while the glue dries. Repeat with the smaller ribbon. Allow all bows to dry completely.

    6) Assemble the bows by stacking the smaller bow on top of the larger one. Wrap a short piece of ribbon around the center of the two bows and secure on the back with fabric glue. Use a clothespin to hold in place while the glue dries.

    7) Once the bows have dried, use fabric fusion or quick-dry glue to attach them to the flip flops. Hold in place with clothespins until dried.

    The stainless steel tumblers come in a variety of designs: dragonflies, anchors, seahorses and starfish flamingos and many more. You can also customize the Tervis stainless tumblers with your own photos or designs, or buy tumblers featuring your favorite licensed brands and sports teams.

    Beyond the cute designs, I love that these tumblers have lids that close, You definitely need that on the beach to keep the sand out of your drink!
