This is my first pattern for shoes, I’m working on the adult version right now :)

I wanted to make slippers…but in Florida they won’t get used enough before my granddaughter outgrows them so I created the next best thing, flip flop soled cotton moccasins!
Lots of pictures to help you along the way :)

you will need:
I hook
Cotton Yarn- I used Peaches & Cream (medium weight size 4)
Cheap Flip Flops- I got flip flops for $0.98 a pair at Wal-Mart (these are one size larger than my granddaughter wears-smallest they had- I bought a pair one size larger for the adult pair I’m making as well-I don’t want tight shoes)
Puffy Paint - I use this to fill hole on sole
Sharp scissors (to cut flip flops & jute)
optional- drill with a small bit to put holes in sole (this can be accomplished with a needle as well, but I felt it was a little less labor intensive to pre-drill holes)
large eye needle to sew jute to sole
Twisted Jute Twine (see pic!)
something to measure with & a Sharpie- to mark holes

PS: they were a hit with my granddaughter!
