Blog Shows How to Dress up Your Shoes By Sarah Nazim | Published 2012-07-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brit-co6 References: [brit.co](http://www.brit.co/style/10-ways-to-trick-out-your-flip-flops/) & [https](http://https//www.facebook.com/britmorin) This project from the Brit & Co. blog is a great way to spruce up any pair of flip flops. During hot summer months, these shoes are incredibly popular for both men and women, as they are lightweight and easy to wear. Instead of paying for an expensive pair, you can easily jazz up a cheap pair with some craft materials. All you will need to make these are some flip flops, needles, embroidery floss, Gorilla glue and any other materials such as [ribbons or buttons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/embroidered-slippers1). With three simple techniques of gluing, [stitching or studding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-of-boro), you can make a variety of fab flip flops to go with your wardrobe. This fun project from the Brit & Co. blog is a simple project for any fashionista who likes to get creative. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Customization:** Opportunity for businesses to offer DIY customization options for various products like shoes, allowing customers to personalize and customize their own items. - **Affordable Fashion:** Demand for low-cost, trendy fashion accessories like customized flip flops is rising, presenting an opportunity for businesses to offer affordable and stylish options. - **Crafting and DIY Culture:** Growing interest in crafting and DIY culture is driving the popularity of DIY projects like customizing flip flops, creating opportunities for businesses to tap into this market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can integrate DIY customization options into their product offerings to attract customers and capitalize on the rising trend. - **Retail:** Retailers can tap into the demand for affordable fashion accessories by offering customized flip flops as a budget-friendly and trendy option. - **Arts and Crafts:** Arts and crafts industry can provide materials and tools for DIY projects like flip flop customization, catering to the growing interest in crafting and DIY culture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Maximalist Summer Flip-Flops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maximalist-summer-flipflops.md) - [Floral Flip Flop Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loveshackfancy-x-havaianas.md) - [Collaborative Premium Flip-Flops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-sandal.md) - [Pool Slide Heeled Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipped-flop.md) - [Customizable Shoe Decorating Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/style-your-toe.md) - [Custom Adaptive Slipper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swapz-modular-slippers.md) - [3d-Printed Collab Flip Flops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-flipflops.md) - [Custom Party Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-and-charli-xcx.md) - [Platform Statement Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8inch-flipflops.md)
