Awesome DIY Flipflops from recycled fabric

Hi folks!

For a Flip flop project, I made a sustainable flipflop myself. I am very glad with the result and would like to share it, so that people get inspired to create innovative sustainable flipflops themselves. Let me know what you think, or share your creations!

I used recycled fabric for the flip flops, which is obtainable at clothing sortering companies, by just sending them an email. You probably only have to pay for the transport costs!

It took 3 hours to create one flipflop (including the design), and 0 euro's. I wore one for a day and they fit perfectly!
Here's what I did:

Step 1 Bottom sole

1:

Tear off the sole of an old shoe, sandal, shoe, whatever

Well you could just use the rubber from an old tire if you want to make it all recycled.

Thanks for tour comment. Youre right. and I wanted to do that.
Actually I started to deflate a worn out spare car tire of a roomy, but he wasnt too happy about that and I had to put it back

Improvement point for a next pair!

I don't understand the advantage of taking the sole off a pair of already made sandals to be put onto a pair of home made sandals

I bought these sandals some time ago, but I was gonna throw them anyways because they hurt my feet, I dont like them and I never wore them.

So why not upcycle the sole, to a pair of flip flops??
