This is the first pair of shaggy rag flip flops that I've made. I'm sending one test pair out in the mail and the other pair will go to a family member. The strips of fabric I used for these came from left overs from my quilts and tote bags. It was a great way to use up a lot of scrap fabric that would otherwise be tossed out. I also save my smaller material, thread and batting pieces for stuffed toys. It has been an amazing project of using scraps in multiple functional ways until they are all gone.
Unlike the flip flops with ribbon that may need to be kept dry..., these flip flops can get wet at the beach, get kicked around, hit together and then just fluffed up. More wear and water will only make them fluffier. The strips are double knotted and will probably withstand more use that the actual flip flop!!!
