Looking for neat ideas to help your squad bond and add a little pizzaz to your uniform accessories? These neat, easy to make cheerleading flip flops - called Spirit Flips - are the perfect project!

-----------------------------

Materials Needed:

12 Yards of Standard Grosgrain Ribbon for children's, 24 Yards for Adult Sizes (4 Yards of 3 Colors Used for this Guide)

Flip Flops (size as needed)

Scissors

Fray Check

Yard Stick

---------------------------

Step 1: Gather all the materials as listed above.

Step 2: Using the yard stick, cut the ribbon into six inch increments.

Step 3: Using one strand at a time, tie the ribbon sections in double nots onto the "thong" part of the flip flops. Alternate colors and sides as you go.

Step 4: Once the thong is completely covered in ribbon, trim extra long pieces as needed to blend with the remainder of the ribbon.

Step 5: Use the Fray Check as directed to seal the ribbon ends to prevent fraying. A heat sealing method may also be used.

And that's it! So easy, so fun! Cheerleaders of all ages can easily complete this craft project!
