You got a little girl you need to entertain? Good, cause I've got just the craft for you.
Ingredients:
1 pair of flip flops (I purchased mine at Jo-Ann's. They were regular 1.99 and I had a 50% off coupon so they ended up being (duh) 99 cents).
At least one container of loose glitter (you could have more but one is the minimum. I got mine at Meijer's on clearance $1 for a set of 6--a steal!).
Elmer's glue
Hairspray
Newspaper
Spread the newspaper on a table, floor of your garage, wherever you feel like getting your craft groove on. Grab a flip flop and spread a thin layer of glue on the outside of the upper part. Sprinkle on your glitter (letting the newspaper catch the excess). Cover the glue completely with the glitter. Let dry for a day. Spray the glittered shoe with hairspray (Spray it like it's your job. Spray it like your life depends on it. Spray it like you need to empty the entire can on one shoe. That's how much you put on it).
Questions:
Isn't this messy? Yeah, that's what the newspaper's job is...catch the messy glitter.
Will the glitter stay on forever? Extremely unlikely. More than likely it will track itself slowly over your house leaving a trail of fairy dust behind your little Tinkerbell.
Will it make your girl happy to have designed her own shoes? Heck yeah.
