DIY Glitter and Bow Duck Tape Flip Flops
This post brought to you by Duck Brand. All opinions are 100% mine.
If I didn't already have an ongoing obsession with Duck Tape®, they gave me even more reasons to be addicted to their colorful sticky goodness. Glitter. Yes, they now have glitter tape! This is a serious cause for celebration! Another fun addition is the their new Ducklings Mini Rolls. These are the cutest little rolls, see these little cuties for yourselves:
Between the glitter Duck Tape® and Ducklings, I decided to deck out some flip flops. I am a big flip flop person and simply can't have enough. I found some flip flops for only a $1, adding my own DIY Duck Tape® decor to them is such an inexpensive way to create something unique and flashy at the same time. The possibilities for creating are endless! This simple bow that made is just so easy too!
To adhere your own creations to your flip flops, I recommend using a glue gun if you have one. It's a great way to quickly get your cute Duck Tape® designs to stay put. It dries so fast too! I really love all of the color options that they have to offer, there is a little something for everyone.
One of the fun things that I did was to create a heart with the tape. If you are using the regular sized tape, you can fold it in half length wise and basically adhere it to itself. This gives you a non-sticky surface to cut. I folded a piece in four and cut a half heart out of the connected side. For a simple look, you can simple glue a heart onto your flip flops or for a more advanced look use them on top of your bows with contrasting colors.
To make a simple blow using Duck Tape®, you'll need three separate pieces of it. If you are using the smaller Ducklings Tape, use the method that I described above for the heart. Simply fold your desired piece over itself to adhere it to itself. If you are using the larger tapes, do the same thing and trim the entire piece down to your desired width. You'll need a piece for the base of the bow, the looped part of the bow and a small strip to secure it and add that final touch. This was my favorite bow combination along with the heart that I glued on the very top. Isn't it cute?
As the last touch, you can cut a flag shape or inverted flag shape into the base. Switch it up for different looks! To make the bow that is shown on the bright blue flip flop, I took a long piece of the Ducklings Tape and folded even pieces of it and then used my glue gun to adhere the bottom together. Once it was dry, I glued it to a small piece that I used as the base. It's not even funny how easy these all were to put together. Hope you get to create some of your own unique designs too!

OMG-- these are super cute, creative and frugal. I love this idea with the duck tape!
These are the perfect way to dress up flip flops. Old Navy always has great deals on them! My daughter once made actual flip flops out of duct tape and cardboard!
Those flip flops are so cute. My girl just made a duck tape wallet I thought was adorable. 🙂
We got to play with some of the fun new Duck Tape at a conference I just went to. So much fun! Pinned this!
Love it! My teen girls do this all the time! They even make bows for their hair with the tape.
You can't go wrong with glitter duck tape! Love that you got creative and used it on the flip flops. I may have to try this for my daughter. She would love it.
Those are too cute! Keeping them in mind for my daughters birthday.

This is such a cute and fun project! I've never used Duck Tape for anything before, but I'm inspired!

I have got to get some of that glitter duct tape. Must have some!
I love this idea! Flip flops are so comfy and this is a great way to brighten them up.
Is there nothing that can't be done with duck tape! What a creative idea!
I LOVE Duck Tape and it's uses. These flip flops are super cute. I used a Super Hero roll to make a homework folder for my son with some pieces of cardboard. It's almost May and the folder is still in one piece!
This is such a great idea! I love how a little bow can add some sparkle to boring flip flops!
How cute are those? I love that it's glitter contained on tape so it can't make a mess!
Those are awesome! I will be making some with my daughter
These came out so cute, love them! I'm going to try this out for my daughter's flip flops.
I see the colorful Duck Tape in Walmart every now and then, and I want to buy about 25 different designs! I have only use the basic gray tape to fix things though! There was a book on Amazon that I want to get that was full of Duck Tape crafts.
What a fun way to fancy up your flip flops! I'll have to try these!
Oh these are super cute! It's a great way to fix up plain flip flops.
What a cute and easy way to jazz up flip flops!! The heart one is my favorite.
How cute are these ?!?! It doesn't even look like duck tape to me! Looks like a fun and simple craft!
My daughter and my nieces are so into duct tape. I have always used it for patching and fixing things. They have taken it to a whole new level. I love the colorful choices and I am happy to see that I will not have to cut down the fat tape. Thanks, Duck Tape for making a slimmer version.
OMGosh this just got me all excited because I remembered that it is actually flip flop weather! I need some tape!!
These shoes are awesome! Unfortunately, I don't think I'd be too skilled at getting mine to look so cute!
I have never used duck tape before. What adorable ways to make creative things with Duck Tape. I really like the flip flop idea!
I love how creative you are! These are way too cute. I know some little girls that would squeal to get these!
so simple but so cute. i didn't know duck tape came glitter.
This is so stinking cute! I love the glitter Duck Tape!
I have a couple of daughters and nieces who would love this!
Those are the cutest! I had no idea you could get glittery Duck Tape. My youngest daughter would love those. She is all about the glitz 🙂
How cute are theses?!?! Such a great way to add some sparkle to what would be just a cheap pair of flip flops.
I just used some of this up at P&G's conference. We decorated dog bowls and collars. It was a lot of fun!
This is really creative and adorable.
Who knew Duck tape could be so stylish? Love these flip flops!
Those came out so cute. No lie, I have at least 25-30 pairs of flip flops and sometimes I end up buying the EXACT same color as ones I already had, so this would be fun to do with all my extras!
That is a super cute craft idea! I have so many flip-flops lying around that need some pizzazz.
So cute and such an easy way to make really personalized flip flops. I love the idea of the ducklings!
i love these. absolutely adorable and so simple!
Oh my gosh are those ever adorable!
I can't get over how easy there are too.
Last time we were at the hardware store I was shocked to see all the colorful duct tape that's now available.
oh my gosh these are so cute! I love the heart. I totally want to update all of my flip flops now.
These are seriously so cute! My daughter has some plain flops that need some love! Great idea!
This is brilliant! What a great and inexpensive way to change up flip-flops!
Duck tape can fix anything! I love how duck tape went from just a household tool to something as fantastic as pink and glittery. If that isn't versatility I couldn't tell you what is 🙂
Those decorative duck tape flip flops are SO fun and adorable! Who would have thought something as simple as duck tape could decorate like that?
Duct tape has become all the rage. My daughter and her cousins are often creating things from duct tape. However, cutting the wide tape to the width they want is a chore. So glad to see the color choices and the thinner size.
I use Duck Tape constantly. My daughter's friend makes these super cute wallets from Duck Tale. I need to show here these flip flops. Very cute.
I swear, you take the ordinary and make them extraordinary. THIS is the reason I follow your blog; for amazing ideas like this. I know my girls would love, love, love these. Thanks for sharing
LOVE This idea! I didn;t know that they had smaller sizes! We love Duct Tape, we use them in crafts all the time!
That is an adorable idea, I love making these with Duck Tape, so many great things to do with it!
Duct tape definitley has a lot more uses than people realize it does. Especially since it comes in so many colors and patterns now!
My heart fluttered when I saw the first picture. GLITTER?! YES! Im thrilled, clearly. And i adore the flip flops. They're so cute!
Hi Corinna, Aw thanks! I know.. right? I am instantly HOOKED on the Glitter tap! They are so awesome! Thanks so much for the compliment and really appreciate you stopping by 😉
