DIY Summer Flip Flop Decor

Home Decor· Summer

I don’t know about you, but I just love wearing flip flops in the summer. They’re comfy, easy to slip on and take off and they’re perfect for the beach! So I thought flip flops would be the best representation of summer for me. Come and create this DIY summer fun flip flops wood decor with me! It’s easy, fast and takes minutes to create. Customize it with any color and any text or even with different ribbons or string. Check it out!

  • Unfinished Wooden Painting Panel
  • Chalk Paint (in different colors)
  • Paint Brushes
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Jute Twine
  • Wood Stain (optional)
  • Drill

DIY-summer-flip-flops-consumer-crafts-unleashed-2Step 1. Sand your painting panel, wipe it down once, and then paint with your base color of choice. I wanted a stained-looking board so I mixed some paints together to create the stain color I liked. You can also use actual stain for this step.

It may be helpful to look up some images online and practice before sketching it onto your actual painted frame. You can also use a stencil. After sketching, fill it in with your desired paint color and let dry.

DIY-summer-flip-flops-consumer-crafts-unleashed-8Step 6. Finally, trim and decorate. To hide the roughly-finished edges where the stain meets the colored frame, I trimmed it with some more jute twine. I also added a die-cut word using some vinyl and my Silhouette machine. And presto – your DIY summer decor is done!

DIY-summer-flip-flops-consumer-crafts-unleashed-3That’s how easy this DIY summer decor is! While you’re in flip flop mode, we think these cute flip flop earrings would be perfect to craft after this one!

What do you associate with summer the most?
