Making a Flip Flop Centerpiece for a Summer Party is an easy to put together craft. Using dollar store flowers and flip flops, a thrifted basket, and foam sheets keeps the cost of this low. It takes less than thirty minutes to make and it’s a fun decor piece for a party.

I love having themed parties like my Flamingo Party that I hosted a couple of months ago. Today, I’m sharing a fun centerpiece for a Flip Flop Themed Party. As summer winds down, but before I start sharing all things fall, I wanted to have one last summer fling. This week, it’s all about how to have a flip flop themed party.

How To Make a Flip Flop Centerpiece for a Summer Party

Items Needed to Make a Flip Flop Centerpiece

Thrift Store Find Basket
Dollar Store Flowers
Dollar Store Flip Flops
Foam Sheets
Flower Picks
Styrofoam
Glue

I can’t pass up baskets that I find at my local Goodwill store when they are in great condition and are priced low. This square basket was $2.99. It has a lid that I set aside. I’m already thinking of ways to use it for another project. I lined the basket with pink foam sheets that I cut to size.

Dressing up the flip flops was as easy as gluing a dollar store flower to the center of each flip flop. I used clear Gorilla Glue.

To give the items that I added to the basket more height, I inserted a couple of blocks of styrofoam to the bottom. Two pearl head pins are used to hold the flip flops in place.

To make the foam flip flops:

Draw or trace outline of flip flops onto foam sheet
Mark the spots for the strap of the flip flop
Cut out flip flop pattern
Using an exacto blade, make slits in foam for strap
Cut a strip of foam long enough to thread from one slit to the other and upwards to form a V
Push strip of foam through one slit, then the other

I used a piece from a flower pick to secure the strap in the center. I poked it through the strap and through the flip flop, leaving the stem on.

I used the stem to attach the flip flops to the front of the basket.

Adding flowers and a couple of picks filled the basket.

The total cost to make this flip flop centerpiece was less than $5.00 It adds a fun touch to the table for the party.

Are you planning one last summer time party before fall arrives? A flip flop themed party is a fun way to send off summer!
