Monkey Love: Flip-Flop Art!

You guys know how I love monkeys, right? Well, I was online the other day and saw the coolest thing… a huge, colorful monkey statue made out of flip-flops! Literally flip-flops. As in sandals! It’s the craziest thing because it’s massive too. The monkey is in Brazil and it was built with the help of local students. Apparently it’s called “Fat Monkey.” LOL. They used flip-flops because they wanted to spotlight something that was iconic of Brazil, and so they picked the flip-flop. I think it’s so cute and I love how the monkey looks like it’s is just hanging out, relaxing in the sun.

Here are a few photos from the Florentijn Hofman website…

And here’s a video showing how the monkey was made:
