**Mr. Flamingo you cannot read this post** Stop reading NOW!**
Ever since I started planning our wedding, there was one thing I knew I was going to do for my new-husband-to-be. I wanted to make him a custom garter… you know one to his liking. I’ve mentioned before that Mr. Flamingo is a Superman freak. He’s got everything from vintage comic books to statuettes, but one thing he doesn’t have is a Superman garter so I wanted to make one for him.
I wanted to incorporate a Superman logo in the garter somewhere but could not find any logos small enough. I thought of using a patch or even a bracelet charm, but everything was too expensive and not to my liking. Then it hit me, CROCS charms. I went to shoe stores in my area in search of the Superman logo but there were none in sight. So I decided to check on ebay. Luckily ebayer namesrus was selling one. I made an offer and won it for 1.00$ plus 1.95$ shipping.

Now this is a surprise and he won’t know it until it’s time to go under my dress. I even asked the DJ to cue the Superman theme song. It’s going to be so funny!The Superman logo/colors consists of blue, red and yellow. Since the emblem is red and yellow and I wanted something blue, I used red and blue satin ribbon. It was very easy to make and the CROCS charm was perfect.
Here is my super garter:
