Create a mini flip flop pinata for your next summer party!
June 19th was Flip Flop Day! This unofficial holiday, which is celebrated every 3rd Friday of June, was actually created by the franchise, Tropical Smoothie Café. Since flip flops are already a staple of everyone's summer wardrobe, I thought we'd have a fun DIY piñata just for today.

Keep in mind, this size is mainly for décor. They aren't very big, and not strong enough to hold a lot of candy. I would make a bunch and hang them up as garland or set them on the table as colorful place settings/party favors.
