How to Draw Flip-Flops · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Straps and dots
Draw two curvy lines that arch up like little hills, one for each flip-flop, with short curved lines sloping down at the sides. Add a small dot above each arch to mark where each flower will go.
Step 2: The left flower
Around the left dot, draw a small bumpy circle like a flower with soft bumps. The dot stays in the middle as the flower center.
Step 3: The right flower
Around the right dot, draw a matching bumpy flower. Make it about the same size as the first one.
Step 4: The two soles
Draw a long, rounded shape like an egg, pointy at the top and wider at the bottom, so it wraps around the left flower and its straps. Then draw a second one beside it, tucked slightly behind the first so they touch in the middle.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing flip-flops
- Start with the straps as two gentle arches, one for each flip-flop, and keep them about the same size.
- Draw each flower lightly around its dot, with soft bumps all the way around. This keeps the petals even.
- Draw the soles last as long eggs that wrap around the flowers and straps. Stop the second sole's line where it meets the first sole.
