Craft Inspiration: Flip Flop Wreath

Use this photo as inspiration to create your own 'flip flop wreath'.  Flip flops (get size small) and silk flowers are available at a dollar store.  Looks like you will also need ribbon and whatever other embellishments you want like sparkly gems, words, sunglasses....Don't forget something to attach it all with like a glue gun or tacky or super glue.  These flip flops are sewn together which I think you could do without a needle, just poke holes and thread the ribbon in and out by hand.  
Have fun and if you are a support professional be sure to be inclusive in the whole process!  Arts and crafts are a chance to express ourselves and to be proud of what we've done, when we are empowered to do it.
