How to Make a Flip Flop Wreath (with MacKenzie Childs Tissue Paper)

Step 1. Trace the flip flops

Start by tracing the flip flops onto the MacKenzie Child’s tissue paper to create a template.

Step 2. Cut out the tissue paper

Cut out the traced flip flop template for each flip flop. Don’t forget that there is a right and left foot so there will need to be two templates.

Step 3. Mark the center of flip flop

Use a pencil to mark where the three parts of the flip flop thongs are.

Step 4. Cut allowances in the tissue paper

Use your scissors to trim the tissue paper to allow the flip flop thong portion to fit.

Step 5. Add mod podge

Use a foam brush to add mod podge to the flip flops and secure the cut tissue paper.

Step 6. Top Coat with Mod Podge

Add mod podge to each tissue paper-covered flip flop with your foam brush.

Step 7. Cover with gold wax

Use your finger to cover the flip flop thongs with pretty gilded gold wax.

You can also run gold wax along the MacKenzie Child’s tissue paper to really highlight the details.

Step 8. Hot glue to wreath

Now you want to hot glue the covered flip flops to the foam wreath base. I used 8 flip flops to cover my wreath base.

Step 9. Add a glass plate for weight

Turn the wreath over and add a glass plate to weight the back of the foam base. This should help the flip-flops to adhere securely.

Step 10. Attach greenery

Once the glue has dried, add faux greenery around the flip flop wreath. You can trim the greenery with wire cutters.

Step 11. Secure the gold mirror centerpiece

To really make this flip flop wreath pop, I added a gold and black mirror from Dollar Tree to the center of the wreath.

Step 12. Cover the center with tissue paper

While you can certainly leave the mirror as is on the wreath, I decided to add something a little extra.

Cut a circle of tissue paper to fit the center of the mirror and secure it with Mod Podge.

Step 13. Hot glue a wood flower

Now hot glue a pretty wood flower to the center for an extra embellishment.

Take a step back and admire your craftiness!

Just look at how stunning this MacKenzie Childs-inspired wreath looks on my front door. It is such a unique wreath that really has that wow factor.

The harlequin print really pops with the wood and iron front door and the greenery gives it softness.

The next time you’re at the dollar store, pick up some flip flops so you can make your own unique flip flop wreath!
