    Scrolled Flip-Flops—Free Mixed-Media Project

    Friday, July 25, 2008, 10:15 AM EST [free project]

    "Add flare to your next pair of flip-flops with these simply striking scrolled metal designs. Using an easy hammered-wire technique and a few beads, you'll create a playful asymmetrical design that will take standard summer thongs from humdrum to fantastic."

    The hammered embellishments on these supercute flip-flops are surprisingly easy to create. Recreate the heart and floral designs from the provided template, or create your own unique shapes. Either way, you're going to look great at the beach or pool!

    Like this project? There are plenty more creative and fun ideas in Jana's book, Art to Wear. In addition to hammered metal techniques, you'll learn:

    • techniques for adding metallic leaf to wearables

    • incorporating collage into jewelry

    • making striking "pocket jewelry"

    • painting on fabric and more!
