Okay, so I've seen tons of flip-flop mods where the shoe becomes...ta da!...a shoe.  My bathroom decor is Flip Flop.  The shower curtains, a picture frame, and there are about 10 pairs sticky-tacked to the walls in more or less random ways. 

Does anyone have projects/ideas/crafts for turning a flip flop into something else?  Like the aforementioned picture frame or other type of decor?  I'd really like to take the bathroom to The Next Level.

Thanks!

Abi and Mr. Fiancé lived in a castle where she had too many shoes...
Mr. Fiancé had so many ties, he didn't know what to do!
So she built him a tie rack like a worm or a snake,
He filled it right up -- now another she should make!



Now for the close-ups:





It really is orange, despite the terrible lighting in our bedroom.  I used old housepaint from my parents' latest house-painting fiasco.  Their front door is this color!

Though, like many of you, I despise the way the polar fleece has multiplied like bunnies and is now devouring all the other fibers like, say, wool, silk, even corduroy, I taught a sewing class on polar fleece projects because it had great marketability to the beginning sewer crowd.  For my part, I appliqued circles of polar fleece and made a snug and brightly colored sewing machine cover.  


It's so soft and purty!

I'm REALLY short, so if I just dangle my feet off the couch, my knees start feeling wonky.  Because of this, I invariably curl up on the couch and switch positions so much I think I have restless legs syndrome.  SO, Mr. Fiancé and I went to Ikea and bought a Knoppe footstool.  I love it!  Only problem is it looks like they lost the slipcover.  Turns out, it doesn't come with one.  So I made one.  Notice ribbon detailing and appliqué of extra flower on the top.

It matches:



The awesome -- though kind of bunchy -- slipcover on this rocking chair that Mr. Fiancé found on the curb two years ago.  It had been this dingy bluish gray, and when I took it apart to replicate the cover, I discovered it had already been slipcovered!  The original was gross itchy brown plain wool nast.  

I had leftover scraps from making my friend and her now-husband chili pepper pajama pants for wedding presents.  And there's a baby who still has a few weeks to go, as of now, but there was a shower a few weeks ago.  Do you think I bought a onesie and appliquéd on a chick or turtle?  I did not.  I made this baby the most rocking-est Red Hot overalls.  Three different chili pepper fabrics,plus white iron-on fuzzy letters.  Enjoy!

Thanks for the tips.  I think I figured out what's going to work for me.  I can retake the photos in the "good" setting setting on my camera, which has a pitifully low resolution.  I tried it with sock monkeys that I've since posted, and I was able to upload.  Stay tuned for real pictures!

Peter is my favorite.  He reminds me of my hopelessly disproportionate muttly dog.  I checked out the ebay site, guys and gals...so much for starting at $9.99 -- it's over $200.

This is no "craft" --

this is artistry!

<low whistle>

Okay, so I know there are zillions of sock monkeys trolling the internet

But make room for this trio of cuteness!

They don't have names, yet, but I'm open to suggestion



The red and white and blue and white striped cuties are made from kids' sized Ralph Lauren socks, and the rounder blue paisley number has embroidered eyes.  

Which made me remember I'm not so good at embroidery.

Names?

This is my favorite anthropologie coat this year...and it's only $188.00!  Bargain!

[BUT]

I know this is an old thread,

BUT

I just finished two awesome boxer short pillow cases.  I'm not worrying about the eww factor since they're my fiancé's boxers and he and I are the only ones sleeping on them. 

Wanna see?
