As a Floridian I know that flip-flops are our official footwear, but as summer approached flip-flops are the shoes of the season. Don’t just wear plain old flip-flops; you got add your own personal touch. You can add seashells or wrap your flip-flops with bright and sassy specialty yarns. Add some bling with craft jewel, sequins, or glitter. The skies the limit when you use your imagination and creativity to celebrate the season of sunshine, going to the beach or lake, and having picnics in the great outdoors.
The origin of the flip-flop isn’t really clear, but most experts feel the flip-flop was part of cultures of China and New Zealand.
Here are some embellished flip-flops to get your creative juices flowing. The term flip-flop came from the sound the shoe makes when the wearer is walking. The flip-flop is any sandal that has no back.

how to turn flip flops into crocheted house slipper
I can’t get the glass beads to adhere to the rubber strap on the thongs. I’ve tried E-6000 but as soon as it dries they pop off. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
this is regarding the request for idea to help keep beads to stay on straps.
Just a thought, but perhaps if you use some fine or med. grade sand paper and rough up the area where you want to apply the beads to stick they may stay better. Kind of like painting over plastic you need to rough the surface or the paint to dry.
