Yes, you read that right…my flip flops were a big flop! Ugh!
Buuut aren’t they cute??
One day last week I had a brilliant idea (I thought!)
of making some cute polka dot flip flops.
So I gathered my supplies:
flip flops, paint marker, stencil & some acrylic sealer
1. I cut out my stencil.
2. Placed it on my flip flops.
3. Painted the first coat.
4. Gave it one more coat of paint.
5. Looked at them & said “Those are the cutest thing ever!”
6. Sprayed it with the sealer. Let dry.
Buuuut unfortunately after my daughter wore them one time
(in the backyard for a few minutes!) the paint started to flake off.
I touched up with the paint pen & re-sealed them with regular Mod Podge.
(Crossing my fingers that would work, but it didn’t. Boo!)
The paint and Mod Podge both peeled off when she wore them! Ugh!
My 5 year old said, “Mom, I told you you should of used purple paint!”
Maybe that was it!
So have YOU tried to paint flip flops before?
Any suggestions? Tips? Help!
