If you haven’t heard, we are participating in a party contest with Balloon Time, Party on a Dime Charity Challenge featuring Brynne’s Monogram Slumber Birthday Party.  We were challenged along with several other party planners, to create a party on a $100 budget.  The winner of this challenge will receive $5,000 towards the charity of their choice – our Charity is Bright Pink.  Go to Balloon Time’s Facebook Page to vote – PLEASE HELP US WIN!!!!  If you missed the party feature, you can see the entire party we created within this small budget here!

Today we want to show you an inexpensive party favor we came up with to match this Monogram theme: DIY Monogram Flip Flops – we spent less than $1.50 per pair once completed. So great, right???

——————–

Supplies Needed:
Flip flops (found them at the dollar store or here on Amazon)
Ribbon 
Buttons
Needle/thread/scissors
Printed Monogram Sticker on Label paper

Directions:
1.  Cut 2 ribbons about 10″ – 12″ (depends on how big you want your bow)
2. Fold ribbon into loop with ends crossing in the middle of the back.  Sew a few stitches together in the middle, created a gathered center.
3. Sew on button.
4. Sew ribbon/button to flip flop (I sewed directly through the plastic thong)
5. Cut out your monogram sticker with a circle craft punch that is the same size as button (or cut with scissors).   Note:  I printed the monogram on white label paper, then I put a clear label paper on top of the printed monogram to “clear coat” the sticker and make it more durable.  Last I cut out the double sticker with a craft punch.
6. Adhere sticker to button (for more permanent monogram, glue it on!)

-Next week we will show you how we made the eye mask party favor!
