How to Refresh an Old Pair of Flip Flops

Instructions

Make Two:

Step One: Holding both strands (one of each color) tie the fun fur onto the sandal strap.

Step Two: Work one sc around the strap. This allows you to start crocheting around the strap.

Step Three: Dc around the strap.

Step Four: Dc to the center of the strap. Be sure to push the dc down to the beginning of strap otherwise it will not be full.

Step Five: Once the first side is full, start working on the opposite side of the sandal. You are now working from center of sandal to end of strap.

Fasten Off and weave in ends.
