Safety Considerations: The following crafts include small charms, chemicals, and sharp tools. Remember to take the proper safety precautions.

1. Add DIY Charms

Crocs fans everywhere know the fun of collecting Jibbitz™ charms, the most popular type of Crocs decorations. Unfortunately, sometimes the options can feel limited. The perfect charm does exist; you just have to make it!

Materials:

• Clear super glue

Instructions:

1. Open the bag of shoe charm backings and shank buttons.
2. Cut the loop off the back of the shank button using scissors.
3. Clean the back of the button with acetone.
4. Sand down the back of the button.
5. Apply a small amount of glue and attach the button to the shoe charm backing.

How to Insert DIY Croc Charms:

Once the glue has dried, you can insert your Croc charm by pushing the back of the charm through the top of one of the holes in your Crocs.

3. Paint Your Crocs

Have you ever wanted to paint your Crocs or draw your own image? Whether you’re the artistic type or not, it’s easy to paint your own designs onto Crocs using paint marker pens. You can either sketch out your image freehand or use a stencil with carbon transfer paper.

Materials:

• Acetone
• 400-grit sandpaper
• A pencil
• Paint marker pens

Instructions:

1. Wipe down your drawing area with acetone.
2. Gently sand the drawing area.
3. Sketch your design onto the shoe’s upper.
4. Shake the paint marker pen, uncap, and press the tip down onto a practice surface until color comes out.
5. Color in your design using the paint marker pens.

Pro Tip: Don't have paint markers or need fine lines? Permanent markers, especially those with a fine tip, work great, too.

4. Scrunchie Strap Hack

Using a hair scrunchie is a trendy way to change the color and appearance of your Crocs straps. Just choose a texture and color you like such as lace, velvet, faux fur, or even a colorful silk print and use the following instructions to attach them to your Crocs.

Materials:

• Scissors
• A pair of scrunchies

Instructions:

1. Remove one end of the Croc strap, gently pulling it off the rivet that connects it to the shoe.
2. Stretch the scrunchie, holding it tight and cut it once.
3. Take out the elastic band inside the scrunchie.
4. Slip the scrunchie over the Croc strap.
5. Reattach the strap by gently pulling it back over the rivet.

Ordering Custom Crocs Online

The Crocs brand has a “Design Your Own” app where you can customize Crocs online, making it easy to get a seamless, custom look. Personalizing your own pair might be a better choice, however, when you consider these factors:

• Order Minimum. With a 6-pair minimum on all custom Crocs orders, you’re either buying for the whole fam or prepping for the Croc-apocalypse.
• Cost. Each pair of Crocs costs around $70. You can also spend $5 on custom Jibbitz.
• Style. Only the classic clog styles in white or black are available for customization. The bottom sole, strap and footbeds will not change color.
• Approval. All orders are subject to the brand’s approval, possibly putting limits on those with a more unhinged sense of humor.

Looking for an affordable, comfortable way to customize Crocs? FLAT SOCKS let you be unapologetically you for under $10 a pair. Just choose your favorite style and pay less when you buy more with our Bundle & Save discount.
