WHEN YOU DON’T WANT THAT POP!…
Gluing Rhinestones to Flip Flops

Flip Flops are a fashion statement — especially when decorated with bright, shiny Austrian crystal rhinestones. Unfortunately, the rhinestones will pop off easily, if the surface of the flip flops isn’t treated first. You see, the rubber flip flops are very oily, and glue will not stick to them very long.

I suggest going to your local hardware store. Buy a can of wood-deck water-proofing sealant, and paint it on your flip flops. Let them dry. Then glue your rhinestones on. I suggest using a glue like E6000 or Beacon 527.
