Easy and Cute Troll Inspired Flip Flops

This is a great and easy activity for older kids, especially if you prep the mesh fabric by cutting them into strips ahead of time. Get the kids set up with the supplies as you slowly back out of the room!

Supplies:
– Flip flops
– Mesh fabric cut in 1″ width x 10″ length strips (assorted colors)
– Ribbon

Wrap each mesh strip around the top of the flip flop. You can either knot each strip OR fold the strip in half and weave the ends through the center loop. I think kids find it easier to simply make a knot.

Continue adding mesh strips until you fill up the top half of the flip flop straps. Gather all the strips together and wrap them with a ribbon tie, like you would a pony tail. Trim the mesh fabric, if needed.
