Mod Podge to the Rescue

Living in southern california, I wear flip flops pretty much year round. So I was really excited when I found this super cute pair at Ross for only $15!

Then I went to wear them for the first time...

They have that really soft texture that I think is supposed to be faux suede. At first you think "Ooh, nice!" Then after about, hmmm, 5 minutes you think "Ooh, not so nice... Ouch!"

So the other night I was working on some project or other, using Mod Podge, when it hit me... I could Mod Podge the under side of the strap and it would change the texture!

It totally worked!! Now, I can wear my cute, sparkly flip flops without the not-so-cute blisters!

Mod Podge to the rescue... Yay!

    HEY!! That is pretty smart! I've done the same thing, I mean buying faux suede flip flops thinking it would be all soft and cushy and it just ended up being kinda sweaty and icky!!!

    That is such a clever idea. I would never have thought of that. I wonder how it would work in the heel area of a flat -- you know how that can cause a blister, too? Thanks for following my blog.
