How to use EVA foam to make flip flops

Materials Needed‌

• ‌EVA foam sheet‌ (5-10mm thick, e.g., yoga mat or craft foam)
• Scissors/utility knife, hot glue gun (or EVA-specific adhesive)
• Hole punch, ruler, pencil
• Optional: Acrylic paint, ribbons, or embellishments

‌Steps‌

1. ‌Trace & Cut‌

   • Draw your foot outline on the foam, adding 1-2cm extra length. Cut two identical soles.

2. ‌Create Straps‌

   • Cut two 1.5-2cm-wide straps (length = foot circumference + 10cm). Punch holes near the toe area of the sole.

3. ‌Assemble‌

   • Thread straps through the holes, crossing them to form a "Y" shape. Glue strap ends to the sole’s sides.

4. ‌Decorate‌

   • Paint designs or glue foam cutouts for flair. Add textured soles (e.g., hot-glue lines) for grip.

‌Tips‌

• Let glue dry fully (24 hours) before wearing.
• Avoid prolonged water exposure to preserve foam.
