How to Crochet Sandals Out of Flip Flops | Crochet Shoes Free Pattern

How to Crochet Sandals Out of Flip Flops | Crochet Shoes Free Pattern
​I'm all for being eco-friendly. That's why when I found my dog, Jasper, started chewing the straps off of my flip flops, I knew I didn't want to throw them away. Thankfully, I had a great a idea for reusing them: crochet sandals! Crocheting these cute sandals out of this old pair of flips flops was actually pretty easy once I got going. This project only takes a few hours to whip up and will leave your feel looking stylish for the rest of summer!
To crochet these sandals, start by removing the straps.  You will need to use the skewer to poke holes around the toe and heel of each shoe to be able to crochet around what will become the sole of your crochet shoe. To poke the holes correctly, start by going in through the side of the shoe and poking it through the top of the shoe, at an angle. (See pictures below.)

As you begin crocheting into the holes you create, go very slowly. The holes will easily rip if you go too fast. No worries, though! If you do rip a hole, do your best to correct it by creating a new one right next to it, or skipping it completely and adding another one on to the end. Don't worry about the foundation row being pretty or not as long as it is sturdy. From here, crochet the rest of the shoe is easy peasy!
