Remember Koosh balls? I sort of put them in the same part of history as Beanie Babies and Tickle Me Elmo. It was a period of time when toys were the hotness. When you could get into a good ol’ fashioned knife fight…at the Walmart…over toys. America at it’s best.
I hadn’t seen a koosh ball in years. That is of course, until I went on the hunt for some Koosh balls. And when I say “hunt” I mean I went on a .05 second Amazon search, which yielded a buttload of Koosh options. Hallelujah for the good ol’ interwebs. You can find anything and have it delivered straight to your door. A jumbo pack of toilet paper. A package of Koosh balls. A can of unicorn meat (I hear it’s a great source of sparkles). All of it, right there at your fingertips. But, today we’re crafting with Koosh balls. I’m saving the unicorn meat tutorial for next week. I’m thinking it will pair nicely with a pound or two of cereal marshmallows. Because who needs actual cereal when there’s unicorn meat.
Koosh balls are at the center of this week’s installment of Craft My Flats. Did you see last week’s project? These Koosh ball shoe clips are super easy to make.
You will need:
- Two Ogosport 2.5″ koosh balls
- a scrap piece of felt
- a hot glue gun
- scissors
- shoe clips
- Use scissors to cut off the rubberband on the koosh ball
- cut out a small circle from felt
- apply a generous bead of hot glue directly onto the ball in the same place where the rubber band was attached
- place felt circle onto the hot glue
- add another bead of hot glue onto the felt circle
adhere the shoe clip onto the felt circle
Now those are darn cute!
Aren’t they – and so darn easy too!
This is a REALLY cute idea! You are SO clever!
Thanks, Kathy! My clever comes in waves and I’m happy that it was working in high gear when this idea struck!
Love the last shot!
Thanks, girl! That last minute “emergency” trip to Target for a badminton set was totally worth it!
Ok, this just might be the cutest darn diy project I’ve ever seen.
WOOHOO! So glad you like it. Thanks for such an awesome compliment!
Only you would think of this! They are so darn cute and so darn fun!
HAHA! You’re right. It takes a special kind of brain to put toys on shoes. A special crazy kind of brain.
Just the cutest! I really love your styling with the badminton set too. Perfect for summer!
I’ve been stepping up my styling game thanks to your tips on the overhead mount!!!
Koosh balls!! I had kind of forgotten those existed. But they are pretty much perfect for shoe clips!
These are the cutest! Such a unique pom!
What a fun and creative idea! Love that you can almost do one in every color!
Where did you find those cute ballet flats??? Dying.
Don’t you love them!! They are from Boden USA – which is my very favorite place for reasonably priced cute flats! Happy crafting and happy shopping!
I love this idea—so fun!!
