Flip flops mean it is time for that spring pedicure. I am definitely ready to show off mine with my latest In The Hoop Flip Flop Tag Bee embroidery design. I was browsing my local Dollar Tree enjoying all of the bright spring items. I found so many cute flip flops and these had to come home with me. I like to have something to slip on when I am moving between inside and outside chores. Usually I forget what I have on my feet if I jump in the car to run to town but it won't matter if I see anyone I know with these cute little sandals on my feet. That might sound odd to you but when I was growing up, you dressed to go to town. Kind of reminds you of all those things mama said like wearing your best underwear or something like that? Did your mama tell you that too?
Cute just as they are.
Cuter with an added embroidered vinyl tag don't you think? This is definitely one of those quick projects that you can do in about 30 minutes. The best part is the tags can be moved to another pair of flip flips if they wear out.

You will need a 5x7 hoop with wash away cutaway stabilizer and a few pieces of vinyl. I used my mighty hoop which I love. I had some glitter vinyl in my stash and it added some sparkle. There are multiple layers of vinyl where the flowers are installed so you will need to use snaps with longer posts. You can see the two snaps in the picture above and although it doesn't look like much, the white snap has a wider, longer post that will give extra bite to hold all of those layers.
I love doing embroidery with vinyl because you can take something that stitches out in rectangular shapes and a little bit of cutting exposes cuteness.
Look for my other Flip Flop Plain Heart Tag here. Add your own monograms or text! Weddings and shower gifts might be in your future. These would be so cute with the wedding date, the bride's monogram or how about "I Do". My art work is not perfect below but giving you some inspiration. You could add pretty ribbon underneath the snaps and wrap them around the calf with a bow. I think this would be perfect for those destination beach weddings.
Are you interested in seeing how fast and easy these In The Hoop Flip Flop Tag Bee designs stitch out? I have an instruction video you can watch below. Mother's Day is just a few days away. Mom would love to decorate her flip flops with these cute little bee tags. I hope you have enjoyed this post, share what you learn and are generous with what you create. Someone will appreciate your hard work.
