| I've been making the crocheted flip flops for my daughter & her friends. I'd like to find black flip flops to buy in bulk... like 25-50. Does anyone know of a site where I can get them in bulk? |

Pudge.. thanks for the site. I'm trying to find them for about .50 to $1.00/pr. I may be able to sell them to a local shop, if I can keep the cost down. I know Michael's & Hobby Lobby sell them for $2.00/pr. Those jeans on the site are really something else... they sure come down loooow. The breast cancer flip flops are a neat idea. |

My 13yo daughter wants to make some of those flip flops for her friends and herself. We found instructions on the lion brand yarn site for both the crocheted flip flops and one that just wraps the yarn around the straps. You tie it off and put a dab of hot glue at the end. They look the same finished to me. Has anyone tried that? I wonder if it would stay in place or if we should just try to do the crocheted ones.

We decided to crochet the flip flops. It was easier than I thought. We're going back this week to get more flip flops and yarn. I think dd is addicted. She wants to try mixing different yarns now. |

| Yes, I'm addicted to making these flip flops, too! I have been using some different kinds of yarn. So far, I've got about 30 prs. of black flip flops & am going to make "spirit" flip flops with our school colors on them & sell them at the high school! |

I ust went into Dollar Tree the other day and they had a huge bin of flip flops for $1 each. Thought I would tell you incase you hadn't thought to look there.
