Five ways to reuse flip-flops

If it's not flip-flop season yet where you live, it soon will be. After pulling last year's models out of your closet, you might be tempted to buy a fresh pair. Before you do so, check out these five ways to reuse (or renew!) your old flip-flops.
  1. Fashion forward. An old pair of flip flops can be revived by a hot glue gun and items that you have lying around the house. Glue accessories onto your footwear for an updated look. Nifty additions include silk flowers, shells and buttons.
  2. Set sail. If your flip-flops are no longer wearable, you can remove the straps, fill the hole with a slightly larger dowel and add a sail. Make two and you can have a race.
  3. Landscape. With enough flip-flops, you could cut them into small cubes and use them as spongy surface material under playground equipment.
  4. Functional. Cut up your flip-flops and glue them together into a new shape to create a wastebasket or door mat.
  5. Art. Carve shapes into the foam for a new set of stamps.
