Materials: Plastic flip-flop with a detached strap, sewing needle, thick thread, hot coals
Step 1: Place the end of the strap in the hot coals for a little bit.
Step 2: Thread the sewing needle and knot the end of the thread.
Step 3: Use the sewing needle to poke a hole in the strap and also in the sole of the flip flop in the place where the strap has detached from.
Step 4: Bring the needle and thread through the holes a few more times so the strap and the sole are securely fastened together.
Step 5: Break the excess thread off with your teeth.
Step 6: Try on your shoe--it's just like new!
There is also a method of repairing plastic shoes that are not flip flops that involves melting on bits from other, presumably beyond repair, plastic shoes. I have only witnessed the final result, however, so I cannot provide the steps for you to do this type of repair by yourself. Sorry.
