FINISHING SOLES:
If you are making sandals without the flip-flop bottom, turn upside-down and squiggle lines or dots of fabric paint over entire bottom. Let dry before wearing. The fabric paint allows for grip when walking across uncarpeted floors.
If you are adding the flip-flop bottom: Cut the sides and toe divider from your flip-flops. Using the Liquid Nails glue, glue the stoppers or round pegs that hold the sides and toe divider to the bottom of the flip-flop. Let dry. On the sole or right side of the flip-flop sole, draw a line of glue around entire outer edge. Place wrong side of sandal onto flip-flop sole matching edges. Pull apart, wait 5 minutes, then replace. Let dry before wearing.
