Refashioned Flip Flops

Being the classic hoarder that I am, there are a few boxes of old shoes that I have not had the heart to throw away.  After seeing this post from Flamingo Toes, one of my favorite creative blogs, I have all kinds of ideas going through my head on what to do with these shoes . . . with some broken vintage jewelry, or how cool would they be made of denim!

It goes to show you, sometimes being a hoarder is not such a bad thing!
