Over the weekend The Girl Who Thinks She’s a Bird made herself a pair of water balloon flip flops. She loved them so much she decided to make a pair for bff as well.
I thought maybe some of you might be interested as these water balloon flip flops would be a super fun summer craft for any teen girl to make this summer on one of those “Mom, I’m so bored” days. 😉
You need about 100 water balloons per flip flop. My daughter was lucky and found everything she needed at the dollar store. She spent $3 for a set of cute flip flops and 2 packs of water balloons.
Grab four water balloons. Have 3 water balloons going in one direction {ends together} and use the 4th water balloon to tie the other 3 water balloons to the flip flop strap.
A double knot is recommenced.
Keep tying water balloons to the flip flop strap until you can no longer see the strap. If needed you can slide the balloons around a little to make sure the entire strap is covered.
Pretty Neat- O if you ask me.

I hate to be nit-picky…but what makes them WATER balloon flip flops? They just look like Balloon flip flops to me!
Sheila says
Because the package says “water balloons” of course!

Those are cute, but make sure NO balloons are left laying around or come undone from the shoes for Lucy Puggle to choke on! Just like infants, dogs can also choke on even the smallest piece of balloon.

I cannot wait to make these with my granddaughter and her cousins! What a cute idea. Will be a perfect craft for a family camping trip in Idaho and then they can run around in them! Thanks so much for your great blog Mavis!
