SuppliesYou Will Need

• Flip flops – simple flip flops can be found at craft stores – we have gotten ours at Michaels but you can also find them at clothing, big box and discount stores
• Sharp scissors
• Lighter – we used a grill lighter – having a longer handle will keep your hand further from the flame
• Paracord – check Michaels for a great color selection of paracord – you can also buy it through Amazon and if you have a local Army/Navy Surplus store you will find some there to.

Picture Step By Step

 Steps

1. Gather your supplies for the Paracord Flip Flops
2. Next  measure the amount of paracord you need – you can do this by wrapping the paracord around the perimeter of the flip flop and then measure that amount out 6 times – this will give you the approximate amount you need, cut off any extra.
3. Find the center point of the paracord you measured out – this will be the part you lay underneath the foot strap of the flip flop.  Start with a basic square knot. TIP: See the illustration at the end of the ‘steps’ section. Note: with the flip flop, the foot strap acts as the 2 center cords.
4. Continue this square knot pattern over the entire flip flop strap.
5. When you get to the end, cut the paracord with the sharp scissors and using a lighter, heat the end of the paracord to seal/melt/set the last knot. TIP: Using a lighter with a long handle makes this step much easier!
6. Enjoy your embellished Paracord Flip Flops!
