So cute...this was a big fad amongst scrapbookers a couple years ago. They're a fun kids b'day party favor also--(well, maybe for girls, notsomuch boys, LOL) but you can buy flipflops at the dollar store, and several spools of ribbon for a few bucks. I recommend cutting the ribbons up FIRST if you have a group doing it.
