No-Sew Fun Flip Flops for American Girl Dolls
Our duct tape shoes tutorial was an instant hit and until up to this day, it still receives tons of views and comments. So my daughter and I decided to come up with another footwear tutorial; this time, we came up with flip flops just in time for summer. For the sole, we used foam crafts with fun and colorful prints which we found at Michaels. For the strap, we used pretty and decorated trims which we found at Hobby Lobby.
The flip flops that AG doll Jess has (GOTY 2006) was our inspiration for this tutorial and it was patterned after it. They turned out really cute and we had so much fun making them. As you can see, we made a ton of them because we got sort of addicted. Here are some photos to inspire you in making them yourselves.
As you can see in the photos, these 3 lovely dolls can stand with these flip flops on. Otherwise, they would end up in the pool (yikes!).
Some of these outfits are also available in our etsy shop – Buzzin’ Bea
It’s best to use trims that are slim enough for the doll’s foot. The front strap is intended to go in between the big toe and toe after it, just like how people wear it.
This is the link to download the pattern – slippers-pattern. Make sure you choose “Actual size” from your printer options when you print it.
This is the video tutorial that my daughter made and posted in her youtube channel.
