I have three crafty teens in my house. I never know what they are going to create next. Emily saw these flip flops while we were on vacation and said that they would make a cute wreath. After our vacation, we got crafty together and came up with this fun, fancy and oh so teen like wreath!
Have you ever been inspired by a pair of flip flops? Find a pair and create a wreath for your door or your teens bedroom! This wreath is hanging in Emily’s teen bedroom. This was also very inexpensive because we searched our craft supplies for all the right embellishments to go with the flip flops.
We challenge you to make a flip flop wreath this summer for yourself or get your kids and teens involved! If you do make one, share it with us on our Facebook page and/or in our Crafty Showcase and we will pin it to Pinterest!
