Repurposing Flip Flop Bling

I  organized the shoes in my closet the other day .....what a job that was!       When I was finished,   I had a stack of flip flops that were worn out.....  I mean they had no life left in them.  
 I wear my flip flops every day and I wear them til the sole is so flat that  stickers can come thru...lol!

I really didn't want to throw them away....and then I had an idea how I could repurpose the bling  on them

     I just took my scissors and  cut the bling off......heated up my glue gun....and blinged up my silk sunflowers.     ( Have you noticed how expensive big pieces of bling are at the craft stores?)

Now I will look at the cheap blingy flip flops I see at yard sales in a whole different light!

I used my blingy  flowers in fall vignette that I am creating on the piano in the family room

I laid my flower in a nest of babies breath and excelsior

 I added a bouquet of fresh baby's breath and one of the little pumpkins that I made from a vintage wedding gown to complete this side of my fall vignette.

 When I finish the piano "mantle",  I'll show you how it all came together!
