Kit for July - Flip Flop Sun-Catchers - Step by Step

Things do not get very messy this month :-)  It is handy to place a piece of paper under your flip flops, preferably white as this shows up the colours more.  Think about your design and start colouring.  The pens are free-flowing and washable.



Keep colouring until you have filled all the clear areas - it is very easy as the ridges in the plastic act as guidelines.





Once your flip flops are completely coloured, wait a while and attach your silver hanging cord.





Once dry hang in your window and enjoy - remember you want to look at the reverse of your flip flop - the colours are more effective and streak free from the reverse.

Kit for July - Flip Flop Sun-Catchers

As we definitely seem to be having flip-flop weather I thought it would be fun to make some flip-flop sun-catchers!  Your kit will contain a 'pair of flip-flops' - designs will vary, silver cord to hang your finished items, three Giotto Decor pens (these are multi-surface markers, absolutely brilliant as you can use them on plastic, wood, ceramic, glass, stones and more) and a surprise gift for your craft box.  Let's hope the sun continues and your flip flops catch all those rays! To order your kit please email busy.beads@blueyonder.co.uk  Happy crafting everyone  :-)
