      Obtain your checklist for custom Havaianas from the event counter. At the store entrance, you will get a checklist containing a number of different materials and ideas for making your own Havaianas. You need to consult this checklist every now and then to get the materials that you need for your flip-flops.

      Decide on the type and color of slipper base and straps. Choose from a number of slipper bases and then mix and match the colors with straps. You don't have to choose the same color of sandal straps with your slipper base. You can be as creative as you want to go at this point. Just make sure that you get the right size of slippers. If you don't know your size yet, just try the sample slipper sizes first to make sure.

      Submit your checklist to the staff and have it assembled. The staff at Havaianas will get your slipper base attached to your straps so you can move on to adding the embellishments. It's up to you to decide how you will arrange your pins. Just remember not to overdo on the embellishments because you can only fit so many on the straps of your flip-flops. The staff will punch the pins into the straps to secure them.

      Add more embellishments as needed. In case you don't find the right Swarovski crystals or beads to make your flip-flops extra special, you can work from your own collection of beads when you get home. You can just work from a plain pair of Havaianas Slims or any other plain-colored pair and then glue the beads onto the straps according to your design.

Tips &- Warnings

  • Customize your Havaianas flip-flops according to your personality and your intended use. For instance if you want to wear your slippers for a dressier outfit, you want to put fancy embellishments like Swarovski crystals on them.
