Why

Summer fun for more than one! Create a pair of magnetic flip-flop frames--one for you and one to share!

Steps

  1. 1. Cut Crayola® Color Explosion™ paper into the shape of a pair of flip-flops with Crayola Scissors. Need help with the shape? Trace around a pair of your shoes!
  2. 2. Decorate the flip-flops with the Color Explosion color-reveal markers and Crayola Glitter Glue. Make a fashion-forward design that is uniquely you. Air-dry the sparkly flip-flops.
  3. 3. Cut two 10-inch (25.4 cm) pieces of ribbon for flip-flop straps. Fold each ribbon in half. For each flip-flop, glue the fold at the toe with Crayola School Glue. Glue the ends of the ribbons around the sides to complete the straps. Air-dry the glue.
  4. 4. Cut out and glue on a photo of friends, pets, or family at the heels. Air-dry the glue. Stick magnetic tape on the back of each sandal. Hang up your fantastic flip-flop frames or give them as a gift. You’ll put your best foot forward!

Safety Guidelines

Glitter Glue— WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Not for use on skin.

Magnets— WARNING: Only use common magnets that have a weak attractive force, for example, magnetic tape or flexible refrigerator magnets. Never use permanent, high-attractive-force magnets, for example, rare earth magnets or magnets used in motors. If the magnet is small, follow the small parts guidance. WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.

Color Explosion™ Black—Wash hands well with soap and water after use.

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.

String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
