Does anyone know how to make one of those doormats make of old flipflops? I can't seem to find instructions

If it is what I think you are talking about, they seem to just be small uniform pieces of flip flop material (or any rubber product, I have seen the same stuff made of old tires) with holes in it. Then uses some sort of cording to weave and tie it all together... I think it would be incredibly labour intensive to do it by hand, and you would probably end up with stitches from a utility knife wound.
They're not made of old flipflops, they are made of scrap material from the process of making flipflops.
They must have a press that cuts uniform pieces and another process that threads them together.
oh :(
Sorry to be a downer :(
Don't let me stop you from gathering up a bunch of flip flops and trying it out anyway.
I've never seen one.
