DIY - Chain link flip flops!

Hello everyone :)
So, I wanted to show you guys something which you can make on your own. Basically, I'm a huge fan of flip-flops. I hardly wear anything apart from them. They're so inexpensive and comfortable!
Anyway, I wanted a pair of flip flops that looked frisky, sorta dangerous looking. Wait, biker-ish. Actually, I can't quite find a word for it, so I'll show you guys the pictures.


Materials required :
1) Flip flops of your choice ( Got these from Lokhandwala, Mumbai),
2) Chain link (Available at any lace/embellishment shop),
    P.S - This one is from Lokhandwala, let me know if you need their address.
3) Large needle,
4) Thread matching the color of your flip flop.

Procedure :
It's quite simple, you just need to place the chain on the strap and stitch. I haven't stitched every node per se, just a few so that the chain stays in place.


First, thread the needle onto the strap from below and place the chain on it.


Next, thread the needle from the next onto the next chain link and pull from the bottom.


Keep stitching, eventually you will reach halfway and then keep going till the entire strap is covered with the chain. 


AND VOILA! You've got yourself a pair of killer flip flops! Try it in various colors, like red or mint flip flops with gold chain link. Let your creativity flow! And do send us the pics. Also leave us a comment :)

  8. I think that everything typed was actually very reasonable.
    But, think about this, suppose you added a little information? I ain't suggesting your information isn't solid, however suppose you added something to maybe get a person's attention?
    I mean "DIY - Chain link flip flops!" is a little vanilla.
    You ought to peek at Yahoo's front page and
    note how they write article titles to grab viewers to
    open the links. You might add a video or a picture or two to get readers interested about
    what you've got to say. Just my opinion, it would
    make your posts a little bit more interesting.

  10. They are also very contagious and spread very easily
    to other parts of the body if not dealt with in a timely matter.
    For whichever case, that skin tumor needs to be eliminated before there is emotional and physical scarring.
    If that blemish turns white then a person has warts.
