Cheap Beaded Shoe idea

Now DD has three very fashionable
pairs of flip flops, and I am not out a ton of money.

A couple summers ago, I bought some cheap flip-flops with fabric straps, and
spent about $6 in e-beads and made them very spikey and fringe-y, and they
still look great! I had one woman offer to buy a pair, so I told her $40, and
she "fell" for it!!

What is there that COULDN'T stand to have a butt-load of beads added?? (well,
wardrobe-wise, anyway?)

Kathy -- I used to do this with cotton canvas tennis shoes. Did it one year at
a campground and had all the kids in the whole place over at my picnic table,
glueing stuff to their tennis shoes. LOLOL. It is fun!

I've been thinking about beading some black canvas Chinese slippers. I only
wear Chinese slippers (spring/summer) or my Docs (fall/winter). I did buy a
lovely pair for Easter that were already beaded and I keep telling myself I
have got to try doing my own.

Any ideas as to a good thread to use?

Paula -- I can't help because I used glue on the tennis shoes. However, Kathy
N-V is our thread expert, so let's see what she thinks?

Yup. Didn't have to go far to find that one.

I saw a thong the other day that had three thin metal chains serving
as the side straps and part of the butt strap. the chains were
actually adorned with little round dangly beads..I kinda blinked at it
for a moment and thought "good god, who would wear something like
that? I love beads, but not THAT much".
