Art Report post Posted April 14, 2012 Not flip flops, but Jordan made some Jesu Christe sandals that were pretty cool.

rickybobby Report post Posted April 14, 2012 You think the same type of pattern would work for flip flops? If you have a drug store or some other convenience store near you they have $1.99 rubber flip flops, (in Hawaii we called them "rubbah slippahs" ) I have made some with using those soles as patterns and were able to get a general location for the toe and side pieces. I used nylon webbing, vibram crepe, with a vibram power sole material. They are very strong. I don't have a picture or I would post it. Look for some cheap ones to pattern after. I bought all sizes at Joannes fabric for .99 cents a pair Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
