Hey Cuties,
Memorial Day has arrived and that is the official kick-off of the summer season. The pools have opened, the motorcycle season has officially begun and the nail salons are jam packed. The folks that neglected their feet during the winter months thanks to Uggs have reemerged for pedicure season and they are getting in formation. Thanks to the Puma’s latest partnership with singer Rihanna, The FENTY® PUMA® by Rihanna collection has made slide sandals all the rage. They started out with satin bows, then furry slides and lastly jelly slides.
After the release of the collection, slides have been given new life. I have a pair of athletic Adidas slides, but the Velcro strap just isn’t cute. With the new slide trend, I decided to get in on the action. I want to be cute and stylish and in this case trendy without paying a lot for my muffler. The FENTY® PUMA® by Rihanna slide collection retails for $90. I’m not judging those that purchase, I’m just giving you another perspective.
Materials/Supplies
Supplies: Slides, Glue, and Embellishments
I ordered these slides from Amazon for $19.99. I wear a size 8 but I got a size 9, they fit perfectly.
I already owned these embellishments but you can get them from the craft stores, Amazon and or Ebay. All of my embellishments have flat backs. When using E6000 proper ventilation is essential, work near a window and use a face mask.
In progress…
Once I got started I didn’t like the way the rhinestones looked so I switched them out for pearls.
I love the way they turned out. My original thought was to use a few embellishments but as I continued to work I like the junk kind of look. I kept going with it and naturally I had to put my signature name on them. I love to make things my own and that is why I love a good DIY.
If you love the trend and would like to try another style, The Style Medic did a DIY Pompom slide sandal.
Are you feeling the slides trend? Chat with me in the comment below or FB, IG or Twitter.
Now this is such an awesome idea and if you take them off by the pool you aren’t going to get confused about which pair is yours.
Not at all Sarah, no mix up taking place.
Wow those really are unique and cute. My granddaughter is here and said she wants to make them. I’ll have to let her try.
Go for it Terri, that would be a lot of fun.
Those. Are. The. COOLEST! They are seriously so much fun! I have some old sandals like this that could use a little blind. Thanks!
Thanks Stacie, give them new life.
Oh my goodness, you are SO creative! What a fun idea! This would be a great thing to do with my daughter for a mom-daughter night!
Thanks Joely. This would be a fun Mommy/Daughter activity.
This is a great way to personalize your sandals. I will have to get the supplies I need to make some this weekend.
Go for it, make them your own.
This would be such a great project for my daughter and I this weekend. I am totally doing it. Thank you so much for your creativity!
Yay, have fun, Jennifer.
We have mostly tile and hardwood flooring in our home, so I wear slide sandals like these around the house. I love the idea of personalizing them to match my style! So fun!
Oh, that is a great idea, Marcie. You can put your name on it.
What a great idea to create a custom made sandal You can make it suit any occasion or feeling!
Yup, that is the fun thing about making things yourself.
I love what you did with the slides. What an awesome idea. These embellishments are super cute.
Thanks!
I love these slides!! I love how you put “cute lips” on them….so cute!!
Thanks, Ricci. I believe in putting my name on everything.
Can you make me a pair? I am just not into DIY but I would buy and wear these.
Kita, I don’t have the mojo in me anymore. I recently did a Nike pair that is even easier to do.
I don’t really wear slides which is probably why I hadn’t heard of the new Rihanna/Puma ones but I can get with this! I love a good DIY and this is pretty cute!
THanks Marsha, I always love a good DIY.
Woah! I’ve never thought that I could also do this on my own! Your DIY Slide Sandals are really pretty and unique.
Thanks Victoria, you can do anything on your own.
These are so cute and it is a really inexpensive way to make a cheaper pair of sandals your own. My daughter would love this DIY.
You’ve got it Gwendolyn and they are one of a kind.
Ha! what a great and creative idea… I’m going to do this with my kids, I just know they’ll love it! thanks for the fun DIY project : )
Enjoy Eloise.
It is always fun to personalize things. These are a cute idea!
I agree, I personalize almost everything.
That’s such a fun way to dress up your sandals! I know our girls would be all over this!
Ha, thanks Shannon.
You have the cutest idea for do it yourself fashion. I love these slides. They would be so cute on the beach or hanging out by the pool. Too cute.
Thanks Chrishelle. I can’t wait to wear them on the beach.
That is very creative on your part. I am not sure I would have thought of such a thing on my own. I like it. This is a great idea for a craft.
Thanks Dawn, I love to craft.
This is really cute. I remember my friend wanted to DIY her sandals. I will recommend this to her.
Yes, she can take some inspiration in creating her own.
I know you get alot of compliments on these slip on! I love DIY products. You will always have a one of a kind
Hahaha, I do. People stop and ask me about them or I hear them whispering around me.
How creative and inexpensive! This would be such a great DIY project for young girls as well. Love it!
It would OmiOmy. I try to do affordable DIYs. Creativity doesn’t have to be expensive.
They turned out great. This diy also looks like it is quick and effortless. I’d definitely be willing to give it a try.
Elle, it was really quick and easy to do.
You always have the cutest ideas! I love that you hid little spikes in there!
Thanks Echo, being creative is my happy place.
These are so cute. I might have to try this and use Avon ideas. I love all the makeup embellishments. You are so creative. Thanks for sharing!
Daria you totally could.
Wow, you are really good at this! This is such an awesome idea to improve on regular old shoes. My kids would love creating some precious accessories with beads that we have – what an awesome trick!
E H really you can do this on any fabric/canvas.
Oh, slide sandals are back? I remember how popular they were back in high school. Wish I had thought of the idea to bling them up back then! Would have been too cool!
Right Marielle, we would have been so fly.
I remember seeing these on Twitter. Now that I’ve seen your blog, I could try the pom slides! Lol. I love heels…
Hahahaha
