do you happen to know of a pattern for flip flops that use the ‘loom loops’ (we used to use them to make pot holders and placements)

Thanks for the easy instructions on the flip flop pattern. I saw some fuzzy flip flops at an art festival this weekend going for $13 a pair, and stopped to look at them. It crossed my mind that I could find a pattern online, and I found yours to be the easiest to understand, even for someone who can barely crochet (but knits like a fiend.)

Thanks so much for this pattern. My sister was explaining this concept to me just this weekend. She can’t crochet but she is so proud of herself that she can make these flip-flops! And like the comment from Tania, I saw them at a garage sale and the girl there was selling them for $15.00! No way when it cost about $3.00 to make and such little time!

can you tell me appox. how many single crochets you do on a flip flop? I want to be sure I am covering them good but I don’t want to waste either. I am making my first pair for my daughter and I don’t want to run out of the fun fur and want to divide evenly without having to start over. I thought you might know about how many single’s you are comfortable with per flip flop. Thanks for your help.

Hi Shirley,
The pattern to make the furry part is right here on this blog page. You should be able to just print it out. I don’t know where to buy wholesale flip flops. I bought mine retail at Walmart.

Where can inexpensive flip flops be bought at this time of the year? I’m looking for orange and turquoise and pink ones.

If anyone is interested in sharing on buying 24 pair of flip flops I have found a place, that sells to Michaels Stores and these flip flops are a solid color and I can get them for $1.50 each + shipping. The draw back is that one case (24) is one color of assorted sizes. I’m needing some pink, orange, and turquoise, and don’t need 24 pairs of each.

Rosalee,
Would you mind sharing where you found the flip flops that are sold to Michaels stores? I may be interested in splitting them with you. Thanks!

Hey thanks! I’ve seen the pattern before, but seeing the photos made it understandable for me. I made 2 pair for my mom and sister for Christmas, now mom wants the pattern to make more! I’ve sent the url to her so she will be visiting soon. (Hi Mom!)

I am interested in going in with someone on the wholesale flip flops.

Readers: This isn’t a for sale site. Since I have no way of screening visitors who post notes to make sure they are reliable sellers or buyers, I’ve been getting nervous about the thought that two people would find each ther in my comments and one might be taken advantage of. So, I’m going to delete comments soliciting people to buy large lots of flip flops together.

I suggest those looking for inexpensive flip flops in large quantities, try
ebay.

I did a search on “flip flop lot” and found many lots with prices starting as low as $54 for 120 pair for very plain flip flops and increasing from there. (Generally, the price rose as the style features improved. )

People are also selling smaller lots and individual flip flops.

Greetings!
May I “photocopy” your site and use it for teaching? Everyone in my knitting group (about wants to learn, and I’d like to use your site’s photos for help. (I’ve been raving about how cool my flips are and now they have elected me to teach the class!) I would give you complete credit (I already have whenever anyone asks about mine!) and I would just copy it onto paper, not a website. Please?

I ran across this page, did you ever find a supplier for your flip-flops? I wholesale flip-flops, and have all of the colors you mentioned. You can look at my web page if you would like. It is www.geocities.com/bferem I do not have all my styles on there, but it will give you a good idea of what I have, but in plain I have every color of the rainbow, and you can purchase a case of just one color if you like. My contact infomation is on my web page if you are interested.

I did a pair with Fun Fur Yarn, bought it at Wally-World. Triple Crochet makes the fur thicker, but it takes a whole skein. After tying your first knot, yarn on, take a wrap around the strap, yarn on and come back around, then triple crochet as usual…yarn on, pull through 2 loops, yarn on again, pull through last 2 loops.

I am also looking for the pattern for decorating flip flops using the loom loops that we used to make pot holders with. I had a customer in the store last summer that was wearing a pair she made and I can’t remember who she was. I just want to make a pair for my daughter who is already heavily pregnant and has 3 months to go. Flip flops are the only thing she can wear and I want to jazz them up. Plain ones get really boring. Please Help!!! Kelly

I am also trying to find out how to decorate flip flops using the loom loops. I would appreciate it so much if anyone could give me the instructions. I got a “chain letter” for sending flip flops and I would love to dress up plain flip flops for the person that I am sending them to. Thanks so much.

I was looking around online for the loom hoop pattern and couldn’t find it, but I did find a wrag pattern at this site. I did a search using (spirit wear flip flops). It might be a place to start looking, or give you some ideas.

Good luck - if I run across a loom hoop one I will let ya’ll know.

You can buy flip flops by the case in black or white, or multi-colors of 24 from Pat Catan’s - there are several stores in the northern Ohio and western Pa. area - out of Cleveland. I think they are $1.97 each.

Hi,

Your picture and flipflops were so cute. Has anyone thought of hot glueing the fabric on the flip-flops? I was wondering if anyone had ever tried it. I am making a pair for my daughter and I know the hot glue would stick but I don’t know how long the glue would hold. Any comments or thoughts? Thanks
